Health Care - US Senate delays vote on health care
Senate Democrats announced they won't meet a self-imposed August deadline to vote on an overhaul of the nation's health care system and vowed to use the extra time to find ways to pay for the plan. Thursday's decision was a symbolic blow to President Obama, who has thrust health care to the top of his domestic agenda and repeatedly called on lawmakers to act on a bill this summer. Republicans and some Democrats resisted that timetable.
Note EU-Digest: this shows how much US congressmen and senators are tied to special interest groups who don't want to see the present "ripoff" practices by the insurance, medical and pharmaceutical industry changed.
