actually, if dems use reconciliaton/nuclear option to pass it, then gop should be able to undo it using the same process, ie 50 votes in senate + gop VP.

To furthur underscore the point, IF this passes, and WHEN conservatives+republicans are in a significant majority, THEN I urge them to NOT overturn -14Bamacare with what they have, 60%, 65% etc... but to have just enough of the most conservative vote against overturning while stating the reason: "We want this overturned with ONLY 50%+1, not a single vote over... NOT ONE".

They will attempt to pass the Bill in the House, not the Senate.

Reconciliation is only being spoken of to give some cover to wavering Democrats in the House who may vote for it.

The Republicans face insurmountable veto for 3 more years and by then thousands of new bureaucrats will have been hired to fill the new HealthCare bureaucracy. The Republicans will never under any conceivable circumstances vote to disemploy a large group of government workers.
