(CNN)Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will delay the vote on the Republican leadership's health care bill until after the July 4 recess, two sources told CNN. McConnell told GOP senators that he wants to make changes to the bill, get a new Congressional Budget Office score and have a vote after the holiday. A White House official and a GOP aide on the Hill told CNN that White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and Vice President Mike Pence invited all Republican senators to White House on Tuesday afternoon.

Our government at work. Not to insult clown cars, but this is a full on clown car. These blithering idiots shouldn’t be in charge of when the toilets in the Senate building get cleaned.

Ahead of schedule. Look back at how long it took the Dems to pass Obamacare and they had bigger majorities.

So far the GOP is ahead of them calendar-wise.

Whatever....

When you guys come back in September, you better get your azzezz to work confirming judges....

I couldn’t care less if you vote or pass anything in regards to repealing ObamaCare or giving it a defibrillator....

Let it die and make the unions feel it...in 2018

Good. Maybe they’ll get the message. Across the political spectrum, real people realize that neither health care nor medical treatment can be made affordable unless obscene profits for deep pocket donors and for pharmaceutical, medical, and insurance companies aren’t curtailed.

This tells me that the negotiations are proceeding and we MORE LIKELY to get a bill that will pass the Senate and the conference committees.

The August recess is coming up soon too. Just repeal it and be done with it already.

As long as they are still fiddling with it, how about removing the death panels? Let's give decision-making back to the doctors as opposed to the bureaucrats.

Of course it's going to get better. Eventually, after some modifications, Senators Cruz and Paul (and the other 3 "holdouts") will vote for this bill.

Then, everyone who's currently lauding these 5 Senators—for their "courage"—can switch to calling them traitors...

What will they hold votes on ahead of the holiday to avoid attention?

Debt ceiling increase to 35 billion dollars has been talked about recently.

More importantly, it’s a Time Warner property, and soon an AT&T property.

Passage is not going to change the turkey into a swan.

They want to give us one more “Independence Day” where at least one major party says the government is not the solution to all problems we are not all dependent on government. After 7/4/2017 we may shoot fireworks on “Dependence Day” (whatever day the Rs finally “replace” Obamacare and acknowledge that it’s the government’s job to take care of us) assuming they allow us to shoot fireworks once both parties acknowledge we are their dependents. /sarc
