Rep. Betty McCollum has canceled a press conference scheduled for Monday on health care reform repeal in the wake of Saturday's shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

The cancellation comes as no surprise, as the House has postponed all legislative action this week in response to Saturday's attack. That includes the vote on repealing health reform that was planned for Wednesday.

McCollum, a Democrat who supports health care reform, had scheduled an event Monday at West Side Community Health Services in St. Paul with state House Minority Leader Rep. Paul Thissen and Jaeson Fournier, C.E.O. of the West Side clinic.

Instead, McCollum plans to meet privately with participants, according to the cancellation notice.
