Well, were at the brink. Reporter with time running out, House Speaker john boehner announced his partys newest salvo a bill to fund the government that also delays the individual mandate in the Health Care Law which requires all americans to buy insurance. The house will act this evening and whether send it over to the United States senate. Reporter Senate Leader harry reid warned this bill would meet the same fate as the previous two which would have defunded or delayed the Health Care Bill all together. They are closing down the government. I dont know what in the world is wrong with them, why theyre fixated on this obamacare. It is the law reporter the strategy is being championed by texas senator ted cruz, along with dozens of Tea Party House republicans who road a wave of obamacarerelated ang interoffice in 2010. Louisianas john fleming. Do you think this is worth shutting down the government over . I think this is worth fighting over obamacare, which the American People reject. Reporter and worth shutting down the government . Thats all i have to say. Reporter but for the first time, some House Republicans like new yorks peter king, are saying they wont go along with their g. O. P. Colleagues. Im going to vote against it. I have to vote against it. All were doing is leading ourselves into a Government Shutdown for no reason. Weve been in effect hijacked by ted cruz and by a segment of this party that has prevented us from keeping the government op open. Reporter the question right now is are there enough peter kings to bring down the bill tonight and force a change of course . We wont know the answer to that, scott, until the vote happens and at that point we will only be a few hours away from the midnight deadline. Pelley nancy cordes, thank you. Now to the white house and correspondent major garrett. Major . Reporter scott, the white house calls House Republicans extortionists. President obama said a Government Shutdown would harm federal workers as well as the broader economy and undercut american prestige. It does not have to happen. All of this is entirely preventable if the house chooses to do what the senate has already done and thats the simple act of funding our government without making extraneous and controversial demands in the process. Reporter president obama said he wont sacrifice the Affordable Care act a central issue in his Reelection Campaign just to keep the government open. One faction of one party in one house of congress in one branch of government doesnt get to shut down the entire government just to refight the results of an election. Reporter the white house believes House Republicans will relent once a Government Shutdown begins. But, scott, as late as last friday the white house belief add shutdown would never come. Now its nearly here and both sides are dug in. Pelley the president also mentioned today that u. S. Troops and air Traffic Controllers and Border Patrol officers would remain on the job but their paychecks would likely be delayed. Not all Government Services will be affected. Post offices will remain open. Social security benefits will still go out. But among services that will be suspended passport and visa applications could be delayed, National Parks and federal buildings will be closed, the f. D. A. , for example, will stop making routine food safety inspections. All federal workers deemed nonessential will be furloughed. Thats about 800,000 all together. Chip reid tells us about them. Chip . Reporter good evening, scott. When people talk about the federal government they tend to think of washington, d. C. , but, in fact, less than 20 of federal Government Employees are based here in the washington, d. C. Area. Today, we spoke with a woman from topeka, kansas, whos been working for the federal government for 34 years and expects to be furloughed tomorrow. Well have to look into using our savings account, whatever is there, well have to look about maybe putting off our mortgage payment. Reporter cindy blithe is a Program Management analyst for the coast guard. She directs her anger at congress. Everyone else is supposed to get along. Why cant they . I am very angry about it. They need to step up to the plate as we would say in kansas, cowboy up. Reporter erika towns is a nurse at a military base in maryland. What would you tell members of congress . They need to trim their own fat and stop tufrpblging mine. Trim around their paycheck, not mine. Reporter townes paycheck supports four children and a husband with multiple sclerosis. She was already furloughed earlier this year because of the acrosstheboard spending cuts known as the sequester. So we already jumped off the carousel, now weve got to get back on again . Really . Why are we having to pay this price, this debt, once again . Its not fair and its not rig right. Reporter here at the department of education, scott, theyre planning to furlough 94 of their workers and a few blocks away at nasa its even worse. Theyre planning to tell 97 of their workers to stay home if there is a Government Shutdown. Pelley chip reid, thank you. Investors on wall street are worried a shutdown will hurt the economy. Most World Markets were down today and the dow lost more than 128 points. Elaine quijano is looking into this. Reporter the dows down day didnt create a rush of worried investors at this Charles Schwab office in midtown manhattan. But the companys top market analyst, liz ann sonders, expects the mood to change. Given this latest dysfunction around the potential shutdown and the debt ceiling fight i would expect another hit to occur to consumer confidence, Business Confidence and probably even investor confidence. Reporter investors paid a price during the last shutdown. The s p 500 the stock index of the nations Biggest Companies fell nearly 4 . Stocks rebounded after the end of that shutdown, up 10. 5 the next month. But the markets may not be as resilient this time. The washington standoff sap it is faith investors and businesses have in a recovery that appears fragile. Theyre less willing to take risk. By risk i mean longterm Capital Spending projects, longterm hiring. So they tend to make these shortterm decisions and it doesnt add to the strength of the long term. Reporter many investors view the debate as a prelude to the fight over extending the debt ceiling. Scott, that deadline to pay the nations bills is less than three weeks away. A failure then could jolt the Financial System and send the economy back into recession. Pelley elaine, thank you. Government shutdowns are rare but they do happen. There have been 12 since 1977. The last one started back in 1995. It was a budget dispute between president clinton and republican House Speaker newt gingrich. It lasted 28 days. Bob schieffer has seen shutdowns come and go as our chief washington correspondent and the anchor of face the nation. Bob, what do you see . Schieffer scott, what makes this difference is this is now coming down a debate not among democrats and republicans but among House Republicans. The question will the moderate and more Establishment Republicans continue to go along with the ultraconservatives who are determined to delay health care . Because if they do, the president made clear this afternoon again he will never agree nor will the senate and republicans simply dont have the votes to change that. The real irony here is that unless the gridlock is broken health care which republicans want to stop will be funded while other parts of the government will shut down. Exactly opposite of what the ultraconservatives wanted. At this point, i think were headed to a shutdown unless the moderates in the house revolt. There will be debate in days to come about whose fault all of this was and which party won. All i know is the big losers are the American People because everyday these games continue congress is not addressing the countrys problems. Pelley Bob Schieffer in washington. Thank you, bob.

A vaccine invented in the 1940s all by wiped it out. But its back and new evidence out today suggests that parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are linked directly to new outbreaks. Heres bill whitaker. Reporter whooping cough, or pertussis, is a highly contagious bacterial disease of the respiratory system that causes uncontrollable coughing. The recent outbreak in 2010 made more than 9,000 people sick just in california and killed ten, the most since 1947.

Organic. Reporter the percentage of parents choosing to opt out of vaccinating their children for school has tripled from. 7 in 2000 to 2. 3 in 2010.

So im going to inject that into my kids body so they may hopefully not get the whooping cough. And yet the research is showing that even if i give that to them they still might get it. Reporter the c. D. C. Says the vaccine prevents the disease in seven of ten children who get it and that a 95 vaccination rate is needed to prevent an outbreak. Before the vaccine in the 1940s, whooping cough was the leading cause of childhood death in the u. S. There were 265,000 cases in 1934. That dropped to just over 1000 in 1976 when most children were vaccinated. That doesnt convince you . Um, well, it sounds good.

And this study emphasizes the choices you make for your child can very well affect other children in the community.
