Passing the existing health care bill just as it is.
Starting the entire health care system over to line up with the health care bill.
See? Now, was that so hard?

Well there is no existing Bill; there are two, very different Bills. One in the Senate, and one in the House.
The dems are talking about passing the Senate Bill on reconciliation ( only 51 votes needed), having the House agree, and the President to sign it. Then both the House and Senate pass amendments to satisfy their members.
If they do such a thing ( and it is within the rules), I think the backlash would literally sweep most democrats up for election out of office this November. It would add fuel to precisely the main reason for the Tea Party Movement--an unresponsive, arrogant federal government that ignores the will of the people.
