UPDATE: Republicans Delay Healthcare Bill In Senate

Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) has moved for the full verbal reading of the 700+ page amendment put forward by independent Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) which will never pass because it calls for a single payer health system. The procedural move will force debate into tomorrow on this one amendment so that it's possible the Senate will not be able to pass their version of the Healthcare bill before Congress goes on break.

UPDATE: Bernie Sanders was convinced to remove his amendment from consideration after several hours of clerks reading it word for word.
