    "No One Has Talked About Reconciliation." (Sen. Harry Reid, Health Care Summit, 2/25/10)

     Yet, "Reid Said... Democrats Would Use The Reconciliation Process. `We're Going To Have That Done In The Next 60 Days.'" "Democrats will finish their health reform efforts within the next two months by using a majority-vote maneuver in the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said. Reid said that congressional Democrats would likely opt for a procedural tactic in the Senate allowing the upper chamber to make final changes to its healthcare bill with only a simple `I've had many conversations this week with the president, his chief of staff, and Speaker Pelosi,' Reid said during an appearance Friday evening on `Face to Face with Jon Ralston' in Nevada. `And we're really trying to move forward on this.' The majority leader said that while Democrats have a number of options, they would likely use the budget reconciliation process to pass a series of fixes to the first healthcare bill passed by the Senate in November. These changes are needed to secure votes for passage of that original Senate bill in the House. `We'll do a relatively small bill to take care of what we've already done,' Reid said, affirming that Democrats would use the reconciliation process. `We're going to have that done in the next 60 days.'" ("Reid: Dems Will use 50-Vote Tactic To Finish Healthcare In 60 Days," The Hill's Briefing Blog, 2/20/10)
