Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. No one was more lonely on this second day of the partial Government Shutdown than the president. President lincoln. His memorial, one of the Many National park sites, forced to close. 800,000 federal workers nationwide have been furloughed. Their lost salaries alone are estimated to cost the economy 300 million every day. Protester vicki maturo, at the Federal Building in los angeles summed it up for a lot of folks. The white house is open. This is a live picture. President obama called congressional leaders of both parties there this evening to try to break the impasse. That meeting has just end and the our senior White House Correspondent bill plante is there. Bill whrark do we know . Reporter scott, we know the meeting lasted a little over an hour and ended in an impasse. Speaker boehner has just said it was polite but the president stuck to his position of not negotiating over the shutdown. In an interview earlier today, mr. Obama described the shutdown as entirely unnecessary and himself as exasperated. If john boehner, the speaker of the house, puts a bill on the floor to reopen the government at current funding levels, so that we can then negotiate on a real budget that allows us to stop governing from crisis to crisis, it would pass. The only thing that is stopping it is john boehner right now has not been willing to say no to a faction of the Republican Party that are willing to burn the house down because of an obsession over my health care initiative. Reporter scott, the president also warned that if republicans are unwilling to raise the nations borrowing level when it runs out in about two weeks and then default on u. S. Government obligations, then, in his words, we are in trouble. Pelley senior White House Correspondent bill plante at thr White House Briefing room tonight. Thanks, bill. The result of republican attempts to roll back obamacare. But House Republicans appeared to be having some second thoughts today. They began passing bills to fund parts of the government despite threats of a president ial veto. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Reporter House Republicans moved to f reporter House Republicans moved to Fund National parks and the National Institutes of health after the nation saw stories about Sick Children shut out of cancer trials and veterans blocked from the world war ii memorial. House majority leader eric cantor. It is a shame that folks in this country who come to washington to be able to see these memorials cant. Reporter as he spoke, a small group of furloughed workers demonstrated nearby urging lawmakers to reopen the entire government. Why are you pushing for monuments to be opened instead of, say, headstart preschools for lowincome children . Isnt that all important . That is coming as well. We are going to take every issue that is out there that we have agreement on and put it the on the floor and we will pass the funding bills to go to the senate. Reporter Senate Democrats vowed to block the bills and most House Democrats voted no. Ohios joyce beatty its like asking a large family for the parents to pick three children to feed and let the others starve before their eyes. Reporter Senate Democrats say the only funding theyll agree to is a bill that funds the full government, no strings attached. In fact, scott, today, Senate Majority leader harry reid was asked if he would be open to Funding Cancer Research for kids only and his response was why would i do that . Pelley well check in with you tomorrow, nancy, thank you. The shutdown affects far more than the government. We asked Bill Whitaker to look into the impact on Small Businesses. Businesses. Were going to work really hard to make sure it does not affect our employees. Reporter lisa papini is Vice President of dante valve company. The 42 workers at the Small Business south of l. A. Make safety release valves for the u. S. Navy. Our applications are the catapult steam system of aircraft carriers, laundry piping within the ship, and also there are Nuclear Applications for our products. Reporter now, grinding these valves to perfection for the navy is grinding to a halt. We were surprised to find out that nuclear inspectors and government Quality Assurance inspectors wont be able to come to our facility. So well be at a stop. Reporter the nuclear inspectors will not be coming out . Thats the message we received and thats not a message we expected. Reporter now she has 100,000 worth of valves for the navy that cant be shipped because they cant be inspected, which means she cant get paid. On average, the u. S. Government does 1. 4 billion of business a day with u. S. Contractors. When it gets shut down like today, it has real effects on real people, absolutely. Reporter most of her contracts are with the government, but after the sequestration earlier this year, she diversified, taking on more commercial clients. Papini says Business Needs predictability, just not the washington variety. This gridlock that were seeing is what we expect and were starting to accept as the new normal in washington. Reporter lurching. From crisis to crisis. Governing by crisis. Reporter and, scott, she expects it to get worse. The navy is planning to defer 950 million in fleet maintenance. She says that wont be good for her company or the country. Pelley Bill Whitaker in our los angeles newsroom, thank you, bill. Now moving on to the other news today. At least eight people were killed in a highway collision in tennessee. This was the scene on interstate 40 near knoxville. The Highway Patrol tells us a church bus blew a tire, crossed the median, clipped an s. U. V. , and slammed into a tractor trailer. The bus overturned. The truck caught fire. In addition to the eight killed, 14 people were hurt and eight of them are in critical condition. Again today, many people trying to shop for insurance on the new Health Care Exchanges ran into frozen web sites and long delays. The online exchanges are a major portion of the Affordable Care act, also known as obamacare. The main web site, healthcare. Gov, was overwhelmed yesterday when 4. 7 million americans tried to get on the site. California took its site down last night for a fix. It went back up in midmorning. California told us it has created 7700 new health care accounts on its web site. Colorado has more than 6900 new accounts so far. The Obama Administration says give the service time. It will improve. The Affordable Care act hoped to cover more poor americans by requiring states to expand medicaid. But 26 states declined to go to that expense, creating a coverage gap. All of those states have republican governors or legislatures that are controlled by republicans. And we asked Elaine Quijano to look into this. Reporter 45yearold Bertha Mcintyre needs daily medication to manage her diabetes and heart problems. The unemployed Home Health Aid also cares for her grandson. She does not qualify for medicaid in missouri because her Family Income is too high, about 1200 a month. Its just shocking to me when a gallon and a loaf of bread costs 10, theres only so much you can buy with 1200 a month. Reporter the Affordable Care act covered the poor by requiring states to expand medicaid but many states sued, and the Supreme Court ruled states could not be forced to comply. Now, as many as seven Million People make too much to qualify for medicaid but not enough to get help to buy a plan on the new Health Care Exchanges. So do you just not go to the doctor sometime . You just dont go. Reporter what is that like for you . I know that my Health Suffers for it. But am i going to take food out of a childs stomach or am i going to do without going to the doctor . Which would you choose . Reporter republican state senator john lamping argues missouri faces tough choices too, he voted against medicaid expansion. The entire cost of medicaid in missouri is onethird of missouris budget. Its more money than we spend on k12 education. Its three times the money we spend on higher ed, we can barely afford to be in the Medicaid Program as it exists today. Reporter the federal government offered to cover the cost of expanding medicaid across the country, but missouri rejected that. The idea that the federal government pays 100 of the cost for the first two, three, four years, missourians are skeptical to that. Were trying to make the best longterm decision we can. I would like for anyone of the politicians to come and live in my shoes for 30 days and see what its like because they dont have a clue what its like to not have health care. Reporter states can decide to expand medicaid at any time. Scott, the federal government insists its up to them to bridge the coverage gap. Pelley elaine, thanks very much. Thanks, elaine.

It says patients who are treated in intensive care units often leave with dementia, even when there is no evidence of it prior to their treatment. We asked dr. Jon lapook to look into this. Reporter 18 months ago, lisa lsia uribe had gallbladder surg after the operation, she developed a severe infection and spent three weeks sedated in the intensive care unit.

Reporter but after leaving the i. C. U. , she never got better. Now 46, uribe has shortterm memory loss and trouble thinking. Shes unable to work and sometimes gets lost when driving. Being somewhere and not knowing why youre there or what your purpose was for being in this location and its a scary thing. Very good reporter dr. Wes ely co authored the study. What we found was a dramatic amount, 75 of patients leaving with Cognitive Impairment, and in fact, one in three leaving with Cognitive Impairment in the realm of alzheimers disease. Reporter those problems persisted for at least a year. There are several possible causes severe illness, which on its own can damage the brain. So can drugs used to sedate patients, as well as the disorienting environment of the i. C. U. When they survive they go through all of that i. C. U. Experience, now they have to survive with essentially a new disease of the brain. Reporter the study also found that younger patients had the same problems as older ones. And that was the real new news here was that people in their 30s and 40s at the height of their earning capacity, et cetera, were leaving with this newly found brain problem. Reporter lisa uribe tries to jog her memory with pictures. Every day i wake up, keep thinking, this is the day im going to go back to my old life. Reporter this study ended in 2010. Since then, i. C. U. S across the country have developed programs to try to prevent cognitive damage, and that includes lighter sedation, giving patients a better sense of day and night and getting them up and around as soon as possible. Pelley jon, last night you won an emmy award for your work on this program. We are so proud of you, thank you. Thanks.

Our david martin wenthtg cover one of the premiere competitions held in virginia and the remarkable story he tells took an unexpected turn. Reporter each summer, the great falls of the potomac attracts some of the countrys best kayakers for an annual race. This year, 23yearold Shannon Christy came to take on the men. How old were you when you started kayak . Almost 21. Reporter shes already run some of the most extreme whitewater on the east coast, but shes never been here before. So you take up the sport when youre 21. And youre going to run great falls three years later. I am. Reporter that doesnt strike you as overreaching . I wouldnt say overreaching. It would strike me as confident. Shes a rising star in the kayak scene, and shes just getting to the point where want to capture what she does. Reporter Steve Fischer from south africa is one of the sports biggest stars. Before her first run down the falls, shannon got some pointers from jason beaks, a sixtime winner of the race. Right there in the middle, pop, pop. Reporter he warned her to stay away from the good deadly chute called subway. Ready. Ready. Lets do it. Reporter here she goes for her first run. Oh, that was great i cannot wait to do it again. Reporter her enthusiasm is infectious. But these are class 5 rapids, an International Rating which means extremely difficult and violent with lifethreatening hazards.

That was not a rock. I said, shes here. I told her i said, im going to take you home. I said, dont worry, im going to take you home. Reporter he managed to attach a set of slings to shannons arm and shoulder. The kayakers heaved with all their strength. And suddenly, everything gave. Reporter she was out.

Tom clancy, who wrote that and a string of bestsellers, died yesterday. Anthony mason has his story. Reporter tom clancy was too nearsighted to qualify for the military, so he wrote about his obsession with Naval Operations instead. The most important talent for a writer to have is persistence. You just have to stick with it. And its hard. Reporter clancy was a maryland insurance salesman when in 1983 he sold his first book for 5,000 to the Naval Institute press.
