I would see good old Henery "get the job done" Reid is to blame for not letting the Senate vote on the bills passes by the house.

The senate has voted on the house bills. It's the house thats been refusing to go to conference committee with the senate.
If Boehner thinks the American people aren't going to see through this, he's even more delusional than I thought.
The Senate has sent clean continuing resolutions to the House and House hasn't considered those either...Senate kills latest shutdown offer as effects begin to be felt - Washington Times
I think you are confused.
The Senate has sent clean continuing resolutions to the House and House hasn't considered those either...
Seems appropriate to conference in order to settle some differences...
except one difference is the existence of the affordable care act.

Yep, it works wonders to get rid of all the ideological whine over a law that was passed 3 years ago.did they use bleach? Obama was once characterized as "clean", we see how that turned out...
Okay, let's discuss substance instead of ideology. If individuals need subsidies to purchase mandated government insurance, how will he/she ever be able to afford the co-pays much less the deductibles?

Actually, you have that backwards. The Senate is refusing to conference with the House.
Senate Rejects House GOP Request For Conference Committee Negotiation
Focus, focus. Take your mind off your irrational hatred of the black president and focus.
Washington Democrats have slammed the door on reopening the government.
The president isn't telling the whole story when it comes to the government shutdown. The fact is that Washington Democrats have slammed the door on reopening the government by refusing to engage in bipartisan talks. And, as stories across the country highlight the devastating impact of Obamacare on families and small businesses, they continue to reject our calls for fairness for all Americans.
This is part of a larger pattern: the president's scorched-Earth policy of refusing to negotiate in bipartisan way on his health care law, current government funding, or the debt limit.
OBAMA TO REPUBLICANS: Reopen the government
As of this morning, Senate Democrats, acting in concert with President Obama, have rejected four different proposals from the House of Representatives to keep the government running and fund basic services.
OUR VIEW: The Shutdown Party
REP. CATHY MCMORRIS RODGERS: It's up to the Senate
On Friday, September 20, 2013, the House of Representatives passed legislation to keep the government running – funding Medicare, Social Security, veterans benefits, and more – while removing funding for the president's health care law, which is driving up costs and hurting our economy.
The Democratic-controlled Senate rejected this measure.
On Saturday, September 28, 2013, the House passed another measure to keep the government running, delay the president's health care law for one year, and permanently repeal Obamacare's tax on pacemakers and children's hearing aids.
Senate Democrats rejected the measure on a party-line vote.
(The House also passed the Pay Our Military Act, which ensures our troops are paid during a government shutdown. Thankfully, that measure was adopted by the Senate and signed by President Obama.)
On Monday, September 30, 2013, the House passed yet another measure to keep the government running and ensure fairness for all Americans under the president's health care law. President Obama delayed the law's mandates on big businesses and insurance companies; this bill would delay the law for everyone.
The Senate rejected this measure too.
