This year's battles over health care reforms have produced something we really haven't seen before in the Congress, as lawmakers have been forced to delay their work while congressional budget analysts review the proposals of both parties.
[...] It was back on October 26 that Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid announced at a news conference that he was going with a public health insurance option, and submitting other choices to the CBO for review, before putting together a final bill.
Well, it is now November 13, two and a half weeks later, and the CBO hasn't produced figures as yet. Democrats are hoping to get those figures today, so they can finalize their bill for debate on the Senate floor.
