More bad news to come as Republicans would not agree to lift the debt ceiling unless Obama's healthcare law delay by one year. So U.S. government is also heading toward a mid-Oct default on its debts and a full-blown constitutional crisis.

Hhhmmm, hard to say.. until now both stood firm but of course 'Shutdown' would cause the U.S. at least $300 million a day in lost economic output at the start. That's a fraction of the country's $15.7 trillion economy and the impact is likely to grow over time.. Therefore, Republicans and Democrats need to find solutions for the Obama's healthcare law

I don't think the U.S. Government will opts for 'Shutdown', maybe Obama needs to delay major parts of healthcare law only..
