WASHINGTON — Republican senators are expected
to learn the contents of legislation to overhaul health care on Thursday
as their party leadership continues to work toward a vote on it before
they leave town for the July 4 recess.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
announced Tuesday that he would release a "discussion draft" of
legislation to both his Republican members and the public later this
week, and he acknowledged for the first time that a vote would "likely"
take place next week.
So far, the public has received little
information about the contents of the bill that would revamp nearly 20
percent of the economy and affect millions of Americans except through
the few leaks to the press.
Most senators haven't seen the substance of a
bill yet either, in large part because they still haven't finalized some
of the controversial components needed to bridge divides among
Republicans as they search for the 50 votes needed to pass it.
