Read it and weep Blue Dogs.

“WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional budget scorekeepers say a Medicare fix that Democrats included in earlier versions of their health care bill would push it into the red.

The Congressional Budget Office said Friday that rolling back a programmed cut in Medicare fees to doctors would cost $208 billion over 10 years. If added back to the health care overhaul bill, it would wipe out all the deficit reduction, leaving the legislation $59 billion in the red.

The so-called doc fix was part of the original House bill. Because of its high cost, Democrats decided to pursue it separately. Republicans say the cost should not be ignored. Congress has usually waived the cuts to doctors year by year.”

Coming on the eve of the vote how important is this. Well given that Blue Dogs were waving around the CBO report as a shield, allowing them to overcome their deficit hurdle in voting on Obamacare, I would say that this is huge. One would have to ask, “What else is in there that tips the scales”? Enough to postpone, or even vote “Nay”. Possible. We’ll see.
