It's Official - Reconciliation It Is

It doesn't matter if the Senate has the votes. The Senate already passed the bill. It is now the house's turn to pass the bill. They DON'T have the votes, obviously, or they already would have passed the Senate bill. THEN it is a matter of passing the reconciliation bill in both chambers.

Also... the most major issue holding up the bill is the abortion language. The pro-life/anti-choice democrats won't vote for the Senate bill unless the abortion language changes. The abortion language CAN'T be changed through reconciliation, generally, because reconciliation can only be used settle budget issues. I don't see it happening unless, at the very least, the house democrats can trust the senate democrats and they find a creative way to fit changes to abortion under a budget resolution. I don't see how they can trust that the Senate will approve a reconciliation bill that changes abortion even if it is possible. The Senate CHANGED the language that was already approved in the house bill. "You changed our language last time, but do you promise you won't change it this time after we approve your changes?"
