The good news is the Senate health care bill isn't going to fail this week. The bad news is that's only because Mitch McConnell recognized the car was heading for a cliff and had the good sense to hit the brakes. For now. With three Republicans and one libertarian having announced their refusal to back the bill in its present form, there's more work to do, and McConnell isn't going to get it done before the July 4 recess.
So the vote will have to wait until everyone returns on July 10, or later:
The delay came after efforts stalled to tweak the legislation and garner support from the nine Republican senators who now oppose the bill. The Republican opposition was significant enough that even a routine procedural motion allowing the vote to proceed faced potential defeat.
