FIRST VOTE SATURDAY, NO RECONCILIATION

From this afternoon's Politico article:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the first key test vote on his health care bill will be taken Saturday, but he declined to say whether he has 60 senators lined up. "We will find out when the votes are taken," he told reporters at a midday event. Reid also said he would not use a procedural maneuver known as reconciliation to pass the bill - a shift from previous statements when he would say all options are on the table. "I 'm not using reconciliation," he said flatly.

Please check back this afternoon for analyses of the rationing concerns present in the Reid bill.
