(steve) politics is putting the brakes on san francisco's proposed recreational pot permit legistation.

last night the san francisco board of supervisors delayed debating the issue for two weeks as they work to iron out where the proposed recreational pot shops can legally operate. some supervisors have proposed caps or outright bans on the storefronts in their neigborhoods. the delay means it's most likely the city won't be ready for legal recreational sales of marijuana come january first. that delay has some cannabis advocates frustrated.

senate republicans are revisiting the healthcare debate..taking aim again at 'obamacare.'(steve) catherine heenan is here with the latest on what's being proposed.. (catherine) senate republicans announced today that they're now trying to accomplish two of their legislative agendas - tax cuts and health care - in the same bill. they want to repeal obamacare's individual mandate....which requires individuals to have health insurance or pay a penalty. the updated bill proposes to use the money saved by the repeal - to help pay for other provisions of the tax bill.. that could include boosting the child tax credit and modestly reducing income tax rates for middle income taxpayers. sen. lindsey graham - we're hoping that eliminating the individual mandate will work very well.sen. susan collins - i think that combining the very important issue of health care with tax reform - sends a very mixed message. millions are expected to forgo coverage if

congress does in fact repeal the unpopular mandate that americans get health insurance. and it could boost premiums for others. experts say the marketplace for about 18 million people buying their own health insurace may look very different in a few years. steve and pam?..
