The vote came two days after the Senate passed the bill; The Republican majority in that chamber reached an agreement with eight members of the Democratic caucus to end the impasse that led to the shutdown on October 1.
Most Democratic senators refused to vote for the bill because it did not provide increased tax credits to the millions of Americans who purchase health insurance through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces.
