100-0 "The rare 100-0 vote to end this first round of debate showed how eager senators were to move the bill forward. Republicans realize that because they are in the minority in the chamber, Democrats will eventually be able to eliminate the Obamacare provision to protect the president’s signature law. Republican leaders want Cruz to wrap up his time in the limelight so the Senate can dispatch the legislation back to the House in time to give Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) ample opportunity to attach new amendments that might have a better chance at eventually ending the healthcare law." latimes/nation/politics/politicsnow/la-pn-obamacare-funding-bill-senate-20130925,0,3939894.story
