Despite the Massachusetts Senate race about to commence, Senate Dems may try and force this bill on us. There basic options are:
"But even as Obama campaigned for Coakley in Boston Sunday, top aides furiously weighed options if she loses. They include:
1. Acting before Brown is sworn in. Congressional and White House negotiators could try to reconcile the House and Senate bills quickly and pass the new version before Brown takes office. A firestorm of criticism would follow, but some Democrats say it would be better than having no bill.
2. Seeking a Republican to cast the crucial 60th Senate vote. Some Democrats hope Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, might do this, but others seriously doubt it.
3. Start over and pass a new, scaled back health bill using budget reconciliation, which requires a simple majority of 51 Senate votes. Several Senate aides said this was unlikely."
