Bill passes 31-28 in House Energy and Commerce Committee before recess . Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa and Sen. Michael Enzi of Wyoming said too many issues remained unresolved to sign on to a deal by the time the Senate breaks for its recess on August 7 . The bill would allow states to opt out of the federal health care law that requires most Americans to have insurance or pay a fine. Some complain that concessions to conservative Blue Dogs weaken public option . Bill will be merged with versions from two other panels before going to chamber .
