1. Doesn't it only have to pass by a simple majority since it's reconciliation? |

4. This currently HCR will pass the senate with 50 + (plus) votes |
|
no need of said 60+ votes. Maybe that answers your question!

5. But do they have 51 votes in the Senate? |
|
I caught an interview on CNN Friday evening between Blitzer and a rep from I think Maryland. He was saying they didn't as yet have 51 votes in the Senate for a reconcilliation bill.
So if they don't get 51 votes -- we are stuck with the corporate giveaway Senate version as reform?

They would not have gone forward on this without the required majority in the senate.
Wolf Blitzer's trying to sell you drama for ratings. The thing will be wrapped up next week, early.
