Senate To Delay Health Vote After McCain Blood Clot Surgery

The Senate will "defer" its work on repealing and replacing Obamacare Majority leader Mitch McConnell said late on Saturday, as John McCain, 80, recovers from surgery to remove a blood clot above his eye Reuters reports. The health care reform bill, which is already neared collapse as senators Rand Paul and Susan Collins have already said they would oppose it, would fail without McCain's vote.

'Dip-buyers' stepped up bravely to rescue stock markets after Trump Jr.'s email threatened to unravel the hype of Trump tax cuts... but it seems McConnell's sumemr-school for Senators has saved the day as hope is back that healthcare (then tax cuts) will emerge... and the S&P reached unchanged...
