Reconciliation on Health Care?

The largely parliamentary process known as "Reconciliation," which allows for votes on some budget resolutions to be passed by simple majority, avoiding the threat of a fillibuster from the minority party, could be a reality on health care. Something the Obama administration has been pondering in order to ensure it's incredibly ambitious health care plan is passed by the end of the year.
This move would most likely infuriate Republicans and cause huge slogs down the road on any other major issue the administration wants passed as they could pull out their own parliamentary stops and grind down debate on any bill sought by Obama or the Democrats. Although reconciliation will not take place until October 15th, it's mere threat has already irked many Republicans, but may make them a little more willing to come to the bargaining table to offer their own ideas, make the bill more bipartisan and stop a partisan legislative process war that would most likely frustrate the public and handicap the white house.
Clinton tried reconciliation in 1993 to pass his own health care reform, but was blocked by Sen. Robert Byrd who refused to allow the bill to pass using reconciliation as it wasn't allowed for any other bills besides budget resolutions, which means Obama may have to make some large concessions to congress this time around if he hopes to get the authority needed.
