Senate GOP Leaders Push Off Health Care Vote Until After July 4th Enlarge this image toggle caption Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images Updated 3:30 p.m. ET With their health care bill facing a perilous path, Senate Republican leaders have decided to push off a vote until after Congress returns from next week's July Fourth recess, GOP aides confirm to NPR's Susan Davis. Collins cited a report from the Congressional Budget Office released Monday that said the bill would result in 22 million fewer people with health care coverage over the next decade, compared with under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The president confirmed reports last week that he had privately criticized the House version of the health care bill as "mean," even though he invited Ryan and members of the House GOP leadership over to the White House Rose Garden for a celebration after it passed.
