Budget office: Health care bill costs $849 billion - CNN.com
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the Senate health care bill would cost $849 billion over 10 years, according to a senior Democratic source and an administration official.
The office projects that the measure would reduce deficit by $127 billion and insure an additional 31 million Americans, according to the sources.
Ninety-four percent of Americans would be covered under the bill, the sources noted.
The CBO may have its math, but Joe Lieberman has the math.
Which he may or may not get from Karl.
It would be useful for them to score the same bill sans public option. Regardless, those numbers look responsible.
