The Senate's top Democrat on Wednesday prepared to unveil a new health care bill that aims to meet President Barack Obama's goal of expanding coverage without adding to the federal deficit.

The Congressional Budget Office estimated the measure would cost $849 billion, reduce the number of uninsured Americans by 31 million and cut the federal deficit by $127 billion over a decade, NBC News reported.

The bill had been stalled in the Senate for weeks as Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada awaited the CBO report.
