Harry Reid has produced  his health care bill that will cost $849 billion over ten years and reduced the federal deficit by $127 billion. But those figures are just preliminary. I guess so. CBO will provide its final analysis soon.

You can read the bill here (PDF). This thing is 2,074 pages compared to a mere 1,990 pages for the House version.

Politico: “Read the bill!” was a rallying cry of some health reform opponents over the summer. And if Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) gets his way, senators will get a chance to hear every word of it. He’s threatening to the read the legislation from start to finish, which by some estimates could take as long as 48 hours.

I hope Coburn does read it; it will be reminicent of Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge reading the Versailles Treaty in the Senate to stall its passage. And it worked.
