Certainly there is no pleasing everyone. But will the Baucus bill please anyone?

Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) will reveal his long-awaited health care proposal today, despite no Republicans immediately jumping on board. The committee will begin marking up the $856 billion bill next week.

The committee is the last of five to bring forth a bill, largely because of Baucus's efforts toward a bipartisan plan. However, one centrist Republican, Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), and a liberal Democrat, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), both said they won't vote for the bill in committee.

When it was still unclear yesterday which way Snowe was leaning, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) said he hoped any plan brought forth by Democrats was truly bipartisan. "Let me put it this way," he said. "I'm looking for more from us than one person."

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell released a statement today in opposition to the plan, the only of the five House and Senate committee bills not to include a public option.

"This partisan proposal cuts Medicare by nearly a half-trillion dollars, and puts massive new tax burdens on families and small businesses, to create yet another thousand-page, trillion-dollar government program," said McConnell. "Only in Washington would anyone think that makes sense, especially in this economy."

Asked if he could round up enough votes to support a bill that didn't include a public option, Senate Majority Whip Richard Dubrin (D-Ill.) said, "I don't know. I'll find out." To get to 60 votes though, he said, some Republicans will need to "be part of this conversation."

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters yesterday that he hopes that "in the next few days some brave Republicans will come forward in support of the health care bill."

Baucus will step before the cameras later today to discuss the proposal, the full text of which can be found here.
