Senate
Majority Whip Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) on Wednesday acknowledged for the
first time that a pre-recess vote on healthcare reform is unlikely.
“We’re
going to take a little longer to get it right,” Durbin told The Hill
when asked about the oft-stated goal of a vote on or before Aug. 7,
when a monthlong Senate recess begins. “Initially we had hoped for a
full vote by then, but I don’t think it’s going to be possible.”
