The House of Representatives' health care debate, which was expected to wrap up by Friday, is now on hold till next month so the members can try to salvage the crime bill. Majority Leader Richard Gephardt said the health care debate will begin by Sept. 8 at the latest, when they return from a held-over summer recess. The scheduling may leave Democrats in the soup: the longer the bill is delayed, the harder it will be to enact reforms considered essential to Democratic prospects in November's congressional elections.
