Does anyone know what happens when it comes out of conference committee (which will surely put the public option back in)? Will the floor vote be subject to filibuster, or do they just need a simple majority?

I answered my own question. The conference report may be filibustered, except in limited cases of budget bills. This is of course, unless the Dems decide to go nuclear.

Simple majority to reinsert public option, public abortion money, gutting Medicare.
