CBO Delay in Releasing Finance Committee Cost Estimate

By Philip Klein on 10.7.09 @ 4:00PM

The Congressional Budget Office was expected to release a cost estimate of the Senate Finance Committee health care bill by mid-afternoon today, but a Republican staffer on the committee just told me that at about 3 p.m. the CBO told members, "We know you're expecting this, but there's been a delay."

The source did not have any more detailed information about how significant the delay was and declined to speculate further.
