Waxman and Blue Dogs Reach a Deal? Progress?

The official Twitter feed of the Congressional Health Care Caucus reports, “latest rumor is Blue Dogs have cut deal on #healthbill and will go into committee briefly so Waxman can claim regular order.”

But Jamie Dupree, covering the debate on the Hill reports, “While there is no deal with the Blue Dogs, there are rumors of progress with Waxman; hard to tell what’s up.”

Meanwhile, Sen. Max Baucus just told reporters that the latest version his Group of Six is working on would actually reduce the deficit, according to CBO scoring. He only offered a brief statement before departing a group of shouting reporters.
