Senators: No health care deal until recess is over Posted on 7/30/2009
Two of the three Senate Republicans negotiating a bipartisan deal on health care reform said they consider an agreement out of reach before the Senate goes on its August recess.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-IA, said, "There are a lot of tough decisions to make, and they aren't going to be made real quickly."
They have spent weeks behind closed doors, trying to hammer out an agreement with their Democratic counterparts on the Senate Finance Committee but said too many issues remain unresolved, making it almost impossible for them to sign on to a deal before the break.
Grassley said his colleagues want more time to consider the emerging legislation and want Republican negotiators to resist pressure from Democrats for an early agreement.
He said, "Most of our caucus feels that just simmering for people's reflections would be a good thing to do."
Sen. Enzi Comments Sen. Michael Enzi, R-WY, said, "We have huge parts that have not been discussed yet. We have other parts that we asked questions on that we haven't gotten answer back yet. I don't know how we make decisions on those parts -- they're pretty big issues."
Enzi said, "You can't say you got to do it in a week, you got to do it in a month."
He said, "You got to do it in the amount of time it takes."
Enzi, a soft-spoken conservative, was furious about headlines Wednesday morning that suggested he was close to reaching a deal with the Democrats.
