Congress to Delay Health Care Overhaul

Congress is likely to delay a health care overhaul. They will continue needling health care companies and likely to bide time on major reforms.

Democrats have launched probes of some of the country's largest drugmakers and passed laws curbing marketing tactics used by insurers. Analysts expect those efforts to continue this fall while party leaders begin laying the groundwork for broader changes after the November elections.

With a Democratic administration and Congress next year, analysts say the slowing economy, rising food and gas prices, and new tensions with Russia will take precedence over health reform.
