MSNBC’s Mike Viqueira said a moment ago that the House health care reform bill that will be unveiled this morning has an $894 billion price tag and will result in a $30 billion surplus at the end of its first 10 years.

Viqueira also said the bill doesn’t include a “robust” public option, has rates that aren’t based on Medicare plus 5 percent, and includes provisions for rates to be negotiated by region.
