It's Official - Reconciliation It Is

It's possible simply because the Republicans will do nothing but demonize it for eight straight months, though Democrats have such an edge in seats that I wouldn't put any money on it.

However, it would happen just because of baseless hysteria mixed in with that demonizing of the bill.

It's not like eight months is long enough to change anything or for anyone to see any changes in services or increases in prices, assuming the worst case scenario that any of that happens.

I think the demonization, as you put it, will be more a focus on the Obama administration's fiscal irresponsibility and huge-mongous budgets. I agree with you in that minimal changes to healthcare, if any, will be seen in the 8 months leading up to the election but that will not prevent the GOP from railing the Dems on the cost of the bill.
