CBO reports on senate health bill
Yesterday, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office delivered their report detailing the financial impact the Senate’s proposed health care reform bill will have on the average American. The long-anticipated report finds the bill will cost less than its detractors anticipated, but it also says the bill won’t bring the dramatic cost drops supporters hope for.
We’re joined by Takeaway listener Melanie, who has some concerns about health care reform, and our own Todd Zwillich, who explains the ins and outs of the report.
