U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer left open the possibility the House may leave for its August recess without voting on health-care legislation, saying the members must still reach a consensus.
President Barack Obama has asked the House and Senate to pass their separate versions of the bill before they leave for recess early next month.
Hoyer said he sees no reason to keep the House in session past the August deadline, though he said heโ€™s still optimistic the members can reach a โ€œconsensusโ€ on legislation.
โ€œWe are continuing to talk about how to improve the bill,โ€ Hoyer said at his weekly press conference. โ€œObviously members have concerns.โ€ The Republicans โ€œwant us to fail,โ€ he said.
โ€œI donโ€t think staying in session is necessaryโ€ to โ€œworking on getting consensus,โ€ he said.
