Health Care Bill Would Reduce Deficit

A health-care reform bill drafted by the Senate Finance Committee would cost $829 billion over the next decade and would meet President Obama’s goal of reducing the federal budget deficit by 2019, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday.

We have a winner?!?

The bill would also expand coverage to 94 percent of Americans by 2019, the CBO said, up from the current 85 percent.

And the phrase “public option” is AWOL in this piece.
