not without a fight
the following is from a breaking news email from Politico:
House Republicans will move their own debt ceiling and government funding bill, GOP leaders announced in a closed meeting Tuesday.
The bill will delay Obamacare's medical device tax for two years, install income verification for Obamacare subsidies and have language to cancel health insurance subsidies for members of Congress and the presidential Cabinet. Government funding will run until January 15 and the debt ceiling will be lifted until February 7.

At a minimum, assuming Senate passes a compromise and the House passes this, a conference committee will be required. I can actually see House refusing to appoint conferees and just sending their bill to Senate, where it would be DOA.
In any event, this makes it unlikely that we will have a resolution to the two crises before Thursday, which is when default still technically could occur.
Thought people should know.
