If a deal is not reached by mid-September, Mr. Baucus plans to present a bill that is likely to have little if any Republican support. At that point, Democrats will have to decide whether to proceed under the reconciliation process, which allows legislation to pass with a filibuster-proof 51 votes.

Except you can't do a public option of ANY kind with the reconciliation process.

Besides, they don't even have 51 votes.

Sigh. When will you ever learn?
