I suppose the Senate could try to eliminate the filibuster rule and pass the 2009 version of the House bill. But that sounds very, very suspect to me. Maybe even John Roberts wouldn’t bless it. Then again, who knows.

It’s my understanding that a Bill passed by only one chamber in a previous session of Congress dies with the end of that session. The Senate could do as you say, but only if the current House passes it again, which is unlikely, imo.
