The days are ticking by in 2009, and the more I think about it, the more likely it seems to this reporter that Congress could be working well into December on health care reform.
Why might it take that long?
Well, even if Democrats produce a final bill for debate in the House and Senate soon, it is going to most likely take several weeks for the Congressional Budget Office to review those bills and see how much they cost, who gets covered, the budget effects, etc.
It is not required, but enough members in both parties have made noise about such a move that it should be built into any Health Reform Timeline.
