CBO Analysis On Finance Health Care Bill This Afternoon

For the love of God, get this bill out of Finance and away from Baucus and Conrad.

if they really cared about costs, they would have a public option on their that could lower premiums by 10 percent, save the government some $150 billion over 10 years, and lower the cost of the overall bill (by reducing subsidies).

but this is stall tactics.

the conservative dems are all ready calling on Reid to agree to a 72 hour waiting period before floor votes:

Specifically, the senators called on Reid to post legislative text and CBO scores online 72 hours before the first floor vote. They asked that all amendments be posted before debate begins. And the amended bill and CBO score should be posted three days before a final Senate vote and before the Senate votes on a conference committee report.

Democratic Sens. Blanche Lincoln, Evan Bayh, Mary Landrieu, Claire McCaskill, Ben Nelson, Mark Pryor, Jim Webb and Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman signed the letter.
