U.S. Senate to delay vote on Republican health care bill

WASHINGTON, July 15 (Xinhua)-- U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced late Saturday night to delay a vote on a Republican bill to repeal and replace the country's health-care system.

The announcement came after a hospital statement said Republican Senator John McCain would stay at home recovering from a Friday surgery, which would leave Republicans short of the votes to advance the bill.
