"The fixes will start in the House; reconciliation bills have to originate in the House because all revenue measures have to originate in the House"
The question: Doesn't the House have to pass the Senate Bill (the one they don't like and won't vote for without a 'reconciliation fix') before they can take up the reconciliation bill itself?
The reason this is important relates to the one weapon the Republicans have left in their arsenal: the ability to stall the reconciliation bill in the Senate indefinitely. That power is not of much use if the House has already passed the Senate version since that would leave us with the Senate version of ObaminationCare sitting on Obama's desk ready for signature. Under those circumstances the Republicans would have to do the best they could to carve the bill back down by implementing some of the House changes, e.g. no abortion funding.
Tell me if this is or isn't the way it could go.
Short answer: No. No need for "reconciliation" if the House rubber-stamps the bill and sends it straight to the President's desk.
There will be no "reconciliation bill" because it will be piecemeal. The dodge will be when they try to make serious policy using a maneuver that's designed for strictly fiscal matters, which is what they're trying to do. The Parliamentarian of the Senate will have to rule if that's what's going on (which is improper and against the rules). It is Biden's option, as President of the Senate, to overrule the Parliamentarian.
