at least 10 of the 39 Democrats either declined to state their positions or said they were undecided about the revised legislation

Yeah, that sounds like weak tea to me. I cannot imagine any Democrat who voted no last time deciding to vote yes this time without huge bribes.

Especially since Kent Conrad has said that any major changes from the Senate bill cannot be done by reconciliation.

Pelosi will pick up at least 5 of these 10 - including 2 of the 3 RAT retirees (Cooper and Baird).

However, she’s got a major headache of losing Stupak and 9 other pro-life RATS. Even with a sidecar, I don’t see how she can get any of these 10 to accept the Senate bill, even as a temporary measure - to do so would be a political death sentence for most of them.

I think the real danger (or one of the main dangers) is the Pelosi will ramrod the current version of the Senate bill through the House, under the guise of "fixing" the problems using reconciliation. At that point, the Senate bill will go to 0bozo who will sign it in a flash & declare victory. Then the reconciliation part will start, and if this is shut down or successfully stopped by Repubs, well, that will be good, but in the meantime the RATs & 0bozo the commie pig, still were able to pass the Senate version of the bill. I think the key is to keep the House reps (so called blue-dogs or "moderates") from acting on their real inclination which is their socialist agenda.

Socialist demoRAT bastards will always find a way to add to or amend a bill, even if they have to wait till the dust settles on this. And if it doesn't, well then they still got through some version of 0bozoDebacle Care.
