WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats edged away Wednesday from their goal of passing ambitious health care legislation by early August amid heightening partisan controversy over tax increases and a proposed new government role in providing insurance to consumers.
"I think the ultimate goal is to have a bill by the end of this year," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in an interview with The Associated Press, although he said Democrats would make "every effort to stick to the timetable."
