Democrats pushing health care overhaul got some good news this morning, as the Congressional Budget Office said the bill, which would cost $940 billion over a decade, would cut the federal deficit by by $130 billion in the first ten years, and another $1.2 trillion in the second ten years.

The Obama administration is hoping these numbers will bring over some fence-sitting Democrats who have expressed concerns about the cost of the legislation.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, buoyed by the numbers and sensing growing momentum among his ranks, said he expects a vote on the bill on Sunday.

The Road to 216 got two pickups yesterday. Dennis Kucinich (OH), a liberal who voted against the bill in November because he said it was too weak, said he would hold his nose and vote for it this time — saying an imperfect bill is far superior to no bill at all. The other one was from Dale Kildee (MI), a strong pro-life Dem. Kildee voted for the bill last year when it included the anti-abortion Stupak amendment sponsored by fellow Michigander Bart Stupak. But when that language was stripped from the Senate bill, Stupak announced he could not vote for final passage and said he expected a dozen or so other pro-lifers to come along with him. Kildee said he was satisfied with the bill's language on abortion.

Frankly, I thought Kildee signaled he was on board awhile ago, but the pro-yes forces for some reason got giddy about him yesterday.

The Washington Post lists these Democrats as still undecided; their November vote on the bill is in parentheses:

Michael Arcuri (NY-yes), Brian Baird (WA-no), Melissa Bean (IL-yes), Shelley Berkley (NV-yes), Marion Berry (AR-yes), Sanford Bishop (GA-yes), Tim Bishop (NY-yes), John Boccieri (OH-no), Rick Boucher (VA-no), Mike Capuano (MA-yes), Dennis Cardoza (CA-yes), Chris Carney (PA-yes), Jim Cooper (TN-yes), Jim Costa (CA-yes), Jerry Costello (IL-yes), Joe Courtney (CT-yes), Henry Cuellar (TX-yes), Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-yes), Joe Donnelly (IN-yes), Michael Doyle (PA-yes), Brad Ellsworth (IN-yes), Bob Etheridge (NC-yes), Bill Foster (IL-yes), Marcia Fudge (OH-yes), Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-yes), Bart Gordon (TN-no), Raul Grijalva (AZ-yes), Luis Gutierrez (IL-yes), John Hall (NY-yes), Deborah Halvorson (IL-yes), Baron Hill (IN-yes), Jim Himes (CT-yes), Steve Kagen (WI-yes), Paul Kanjorski (PA-yes), Marcy Kaptur (OH-yes), Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-yes), Ron Kind (WI-yes), Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ-yes), Ron Klein (FL-yes), Suzanne Kosmas (FL-no), Jim Langevin (RI-yes), Dan Lipinski (IL-yes), Betsy Markey (CO-no), Jerry McNerney (CA-yes), Michael Michaud (ME-yes), Harry Mitchell (AZ-yes), Alan Mollohan (WV-yes), Dennis Moore (KS-yes), Chris Murphy (CT-yes), Scott Murphy (NY-no), Richard Neal (MA-yes), Glenn Nye (VA-no), David Obey (WI-yes), Solomon Ortiz (TX-yes), Bill Owens (NY-yes), Tom Perriello (VA-yes), Earl Pomeroy (ND-yes), Nick Joe Rahall (WV-yes), Ciro Rodriguez (TX-yes), Tim Ryan (OH-yes), John Salazar (CO-yes), Loretta Sanchez (CA-yes), Mark Schauer (MI-yes), Kurt Schrader (OR-yes), Carol Shea-Porter (NH-yes), Adam Smith (WA-yes), Zach Space (OH-yes), John Spratt (SC-yes), Bart Stupak (MI-yes), Betty Sutton (OH-yes), John Tanner (TN-no), Dina Titus (NV-yes), Paul Tonko (NY-yes), Anthony Weiner (NY-yes), Charlie Wilson (OH-yes), David Wu (OR-yes), John Yarmuth (KY-yes).

My gut tells me that many of these "undecideds" are yes votes. I'd fall off my seat (assuming I was sitting) if any of the following voted no: Bishop (GA), Capuano, Fudge, Grijalva, Kaptur, Klein, Langevin, Michaud, Neal, Obey, Ortiz, Rodriguez, Ryan, Sanchez, Spratt, Sutton, Weiner, Wilson. And that's just for openers.

And Stupak has said he's a no vote.
