If the entire Obamacare bill could be passed in a reconciliation bill why cannot the entire bill also be repealed in a reconciliation bill? If those parts that do not have budgetary impact cannot be so repealed those same parts should not have been able to be passed through reconciliation.
It didn’t you dingbat. It passed with 60 votes. There was a small funding bill later that used reconciliation, which was allowed as it was a tax piece. But the O-care got 60. Read em and weep.
