Senate Republicans have delayed the vote to repeal and replace ObamaCare until after lawmakers return from the July 4 recess.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who had been pushing to get a vote on the healthcare plan before Congress left for the recess, told members that he wants to make changes to the bill and get a new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office, CNN reported.

President Trump’s Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and Vice President Pence invited GOP senators to the White House on Tuesday as they try to stem defections by a number of Republican lawmakers.

McConnell told the assembled lawmakers at the meeting that he would postpone the vote.

McConnell (R-Ky) said healthcare is a “big complicated subject.”

“We’re continuing the discussion in our conference on the differences that we have,” he said during a GOP briefing in the Capitol. “Consequently we will not be on the bill this week … but we’re still working on getting at least 50 people in a comfortable place.”

But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the GOP healthcare plan “rotten at the core” because it’s a tax giveaway to the nation’s wealthiest.

“The ultimate reason this bill failed is because the American people don’t like it,” he said.

Schumer said Democrats would be willing to work with their Senate colleagues if they agree to abandon repeal, take tax cuts of the table, conduct negotiations in public and return to the “60 vote, bipartisan majority to pass a bill.”

“We’re going to fight the bill tooth and nail – and we have a good chance of defeating it, a week from now, a month from now,” Schumer said.

President Trump sounded philosophical about the setback.

“This will be great if we get it done,” he said at the White House.

“And if we don’t get it done, it’s just going to be something that we’re not going to like. And that’s OK, and I understand that very well. But I think we have a chance to do something very, very important for the people of our country that we love.”

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito said the delay shows the bill “has serious problems,” and a number of members, including herself, remain concerned about the deep Medicaid cuts and lack of funding to fight the opioid crisis.

“We’re coming at this from all angles. I don’t specifically know how, or if, we can get to 51 votes,” said Capito (R-WVa).

She said she plans to attend a meeting later Tuesday with Trump who she said “has a great pulpit” to help change lawmakers’ minds.

“We’ve been talking about this for a long time so folks like me have definite feelings about what the most important areas are and how insufficient the Senate bill is on that,” she said.

“Whether [Trump] can change our minds remains to be seen,” Capito added.

Five GOP senators came out against the bill last week when a draft version was released and several more remained on the fence, but confidence tumbled when the CBO score released on Monday predicted 22 million Americans would be uninsured in 10 years and the elderly would be among those hardest hit by cost increases.

Conservatives opposed the bill because it did not go far enough to fully repeal ObamaCare and get the federal government out of the health-insurance business.

Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Ted Cruz (Texas) and others want changes that would let companies sell skimpier policies for less money and expand tax-free health savings accounts.

The moderates — including Susan Collins of Maine — said the bill as written would hurt their states because it capped the growth of Medicaid spending.

They want more cash to offset those reductions and more federal dollars for mental-health treatment for people addicted to opioids.

Some holdouts were not optimistic that changes would sway them.

“It’s hard to see how tinkering is going to satisfy my personal concerns,” Collins told reporters.

The defections came despite increasing pressure from the White House, with Vice President Mike Pence personally lobbying opponents, while the president summoned all 52 Senate Republicans to the White House for a meeting Tuesday afternoon.

By Tuesday, Senate Republican leadership were unable to muster the votes for a procedural motion that would have allowed debate to begin on the bill.

Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) said leadership was still pushing for 50 votes but called the situation “fluid.” Republicans have a 52-48 advantage in the Senate, so they can afford to lose two votes, with Pence supplying the tie-breaking vote.
