CBO Scoring Rep Weiner's Single Payer: Update

Hello everyone. I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I called Rep. Anthony Weiner's NY-09 office then at their request the DC office.

Me: Is Rep. Weiner's Single Payer amendment going to be scored by the Congressional Budget Office?
Nice person: Let me check.
Nice person: Yes, it's being scored right now. The rumor that the amendment will not come to the floor is not true. Any floor item must be scored.
Me: May I post this on DKos?
Nice person: You bet.
NY-09 Nice person: We sure have noticed a lot of comments about Rep. Weiner on the site.
Me: We like his outspoken support and straight talk about insurance companies and Single Payer.

I told them that it wouldn't surprise me if the cost was the best of all the bills on HCR. They both said they sure hope so.

1. Thanks.

I think one of our fellow DUers put this up at Daily Kos.

You both get kudos from me for being on the job. :-)
