Breaking: CBO scores Senate health care bill at $871 billion
Edited on Sat Dec-19-09 12:47 PM by flpoljunkie
$871 BILLION

Breaking on Capitol Hill: The CBO score of the final Senate health care bill is in, with an $871 billion price tag.

That's up from the last score, $849 billion.

President Obama is expected to speak at 1:30 p.m. and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid thinks he has 60 votes.

2. Whatever became of CBO score on the one having the Medicare buy-in and public option?
How come we were never allowed to see that one?

6. Is There Any Way We Can Invoke FOIA To See The CBO Scores On.....
the Medicare Buy-In and the Public Option. I don't think they ever sent a single-payer up to CBO - but if they did - that should be included.

We taxpayers - I'm sure - fund the CBO - we should be allowed to see this info.
