Would the Dems take the risk of ramming the final bill through by a simple majority? This would be a major risk for them as, if the plan doesn't deliver as promised, then the public will know whom to blame. I expect that the plan will be further watered down in order to attract some GOP support. True, Baucus’s plan has no public option, but it also may have no GOP votes.
