"The changes we are considering could have an enormous impact on our economy," said Republican Senator Jim Bunning, asking for a delay before a final committee vote on the bill so its language could be finalized and budget experts could estimate its full cost.

Democratic Senator John Kerry said that was "fundamentally a delay tactic" by the Republicans.

Baucus, who hopes to complete committee work on the bill this week, said Bunning's proposal would mean a two- or three-week delay before the Congressional Budget Office could conclude its final analysis of the bill.

"We've never, ever, ever done that in this committee," Baucus said.
