The Republican-led House is planning on voting late Saturday night on a bill to delay Obamacare for a year and repeal the medical device tax in order to avert a government shutdown.

The Rules Committee met late afternoon to send the bill to the floor. Final votes in the full House are expected sometime between 10:00 p.m. and midnight.

At around 8:30 p.m., Republicans are set to hold another closed-door meeting.
