FIRST VOTE ON SENATE BILL EXPECTED SATURDAY

According to the Congressional Budget Office's preliminary analysis, the overall cost of the bill is $849 billion. Senate Democrats are currently in a caucus meeting, being briefed on the bill by leadership aides. The bill will be released to the caucus tonight, and made available publicly tomorrow at noon. Majority Leader Harry Reid will likely file for cloture tomorrow on a motion to proceed, which would almost certainly mean a vote on Saturday.
