House suspends vote on health care repeal

– Sat Jan 8, 8:21 pm ET

WASHINGTON – The House of Representatives is postponing a vote on repealing the

recently enacted health care law because of the shooting spree in Tucson, Ariz.

that killed a federal judge and wounded Arizona Congresswoman le

Giffords.

House Majority Leader Cantor said all legislative action " is being

postponed so that we can take whatever actions may be necessary in light of

today's tragedy. "

The House was scheduled to vote Wednesday on repealing the massive health care

law. Republicans took control of the House last week after taking away 63 seats

from Democrats in midterm elections in which the new law was a key issue.
