Reconciliation Bill Posted Online

The last piece of the puzzle is in place for this weekend's vote on health care reform: The House Rules Committee has posted the reconciliation bill online. Politico has the pdf here. The House is on track for a final vote sometime Sunday afternoon, with Democrats "giddy" over today's CBO analysis saying it would cut budget deficits by $138 billion over 10 years, notes the New York Times.

Politico rounds up some changes from the Senate bill:

• Raises tax credits for middle-income families who buy insurance.
• Cuts the penalty for not buying insurance from $750 to $695.
• "Closes the gap in Medicare prescription drug coverage by 2011 and gives seniors who fall into the gap this year a $250 rebate."
• Covers increased Medicaid costs of all states until 2016.
