The Senate Finance Committee is expected to vote Tuesday on its plan to overhaul America's health care system, after the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported the proposal would cost $829 billion over 10 years and reduce the deficit $81 billion.

The committee will meet Tuesday at 10 a.m.

Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., had pushed for a vote this week, but some members, notably Sen. Ollympia Snowe, R-Maine, wanted more time to review the CBO report.

The bill is expected to win committee support, since the panel has a 13-10 Democratic majority. Snowe, a moderate Republican, is the only GOP member who is seen as a possible yes vote.

The partisan bitterness was apparent Thursday, as party leaders sparred on the Senate floor.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., invoked the memory of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., the Health Committee chairman who died in August.

"As  anyone who has even superficially followed this debate knows, the route to realizing Sen. Kennedy’s dream is far from smooth sailing, "Reid warned.

“There are still those who will not rest until the American people are denied the change they demanded, those who will not be happy unless the status quo is sustained.  There are still those who want to pick fights against us, even though we are interested only in fighting for hardworking families.  There are still those who consider this a zero-sum game, and will only declare victory if President Obama concedes defeat."

But Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky fought back.

"What most people don’t realize is that the new plans wouldn’t go into effect for another four and a half years. So what’s being sold as a 10-year cost is really a five and a half year cost. That means you can take the numbers you’re getting and nearly double them," he said.
