I had a long talk yesterday with a very well-informed staffer in my Congressional rep’s Washington office. I was told me that reconciliation cannot be used for anything except budget issues. The staffer also said that James Clyburn, the Democratic vote counter in the House, has flatly admitted that there are not the votes in the House to pass the Senate bill.

I know they don't have the votes in the House and that's why the Rats will go with a plan B instead. All this reconciliation talk is Rats, Obama and the MSM trying to act tough. They'll get some “moderate” Dems to go with some plan B that incorporates a little bit of everything just to get them through an election with what they'll call a “healthcare” victory.
Any “moderate” Dem that votes on a bill that they know will go through reconciliation to pass will have also signed their political death warrant.
