You don’t understand the Parliamentarian. Reconciliation is a budgetary process. All you can pass using it is a budget bill. That’s why Ryan is limited to just zeroing the find for individual mandate rather than striking the text altogether.

Zeroing is budgetary. Extracting text is not budgetary. THAT is why you only need 50. THAT is why you can’t add text saying no illegals can get insurance, or we want all the text of Obamacare removed, or we demand insurance be across state lines.

Those are not budgetary issues. They are not Reconciliation. They need 60.

Obamacare passed with less than 60 votes using the reconciliation process. All you need is one budgetary item in the bill and it can qualify for the reconciliation procedure.

I don’t know why we don’t bill other countries for giving health care to their citizens.
