Likewise for those who are attracted to the reconciliation bill because it may contain Republican ideas, such as health savings accounts or special health courts to cut down on lawsuit abuse. Likewise, on the other end of the political spectrum, for those liberals who voted for the bill expecting the reconciliation package to provide for a "public option" (government-managed) health plan. The health care overhaul would become law, without a specific public option.
That's why the only fight that matters is the House struggle over the original Senate bill. If it passes, the gig is up, the battle lost. And the "blazing saddles" will be ridden by an extremely angry American public looking for revenge on the politicians who took their health care freedom away.
