Breaking Health Care News
The Congressional Budget Office has released the cost estimate for the health care reconciliation package, which means the vote can be scheduled after a three-day bill-viewing period, according to just about every news organization and blog covering this today. Reports are that the vote will be on Sunday, which is the day President Obama was set to go to Australia and Asia. He postponed that trip again and will now go in June, everyone reported today.
So where can you view the bill(s)? Still checking on that. View the proposals here.

When Only Certain Words Will Suffice
When words like abstruse, opacity, delusional, and ugly collide, we can only be talking about one thing: Wall Street.
Those words came together in an interview on The Rachel Maddow Show with Michael Lewis, author of “The Big Short,” about the financial collapse of 2008 from the perspective of those who both saw it coming and raked in millions of dollars in its wake. It’s an engaging and interesting few minutes. I think the evidence accumulated by Lewis and many others points to a need for Congress to take strong action to repair what’s broken.
Call me a pessimist, but somehow I don’t think Dodd’s legislation is really going to cut it.
Watch here or below. (An interview with Dodd about the bill on C-SPAN follows.)
