Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Congress will likely complete a health-care bill within six weeks, and a measure being drafted by the Senate Finance Committee may provide the basis for final legislation, White House Budget Director Peter Orszag said.
“The goal would be, yes, over next six weeks or so, maybe sooner,” Orszag said in an interview as the finance panel headed by Montana Democrat Max Baucus began revising the measure, President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.
Orszag praised Baucus’s $856 billion proposal, saying it “definitely” shows that “you can devise a health-reform bill that significantly expands coverage while doing so in a way that is not only deficit-neutral” but “deficit-reducing.”
In reality they have no idea, its just assumed the Democrat Congress just has to pass something.
