The battle to pass health care legislation has entered one of its final and most difficult phases.
Late Wednesday evening, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., unveiled the 2,074-page bill that will be debated in the Senate -- one of the biggest and most expensive bills to ever come to Congress. The health care bill, put together solely by Democrats, will cost $849 billion over 10 years and cover 31 million Americans who are currently uninsured.
The plan would cut the federal deficit by $127 billion in its first decade, more than any other bill, according to the CBO. It would cut the budget deficit by as much as $650 billion in the second decade.
