'I don't sense any appetite whatsoever to invoke reconciliation.'

While this is what Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) said this morning in response to the news that Democrats will include health care reform in a reconciliation bill if a consensus hasn't been reached by Oct. 15, the HELP committee member also stated that "there's even less of an appetite to lose the health care debate at the end because a handful of people decided they were going to oppose this and make it impossible to get to the conclusion of all of this."

When invoked, reconciliation allows the majority party in Congress to push tax or spending measures through without being blocked by filibuster, which means a bill can pass with 51 votes instead of the usual 60.

Dodd told reporters at a Kaiser Family Foundation breakfast that he hopes health care reform legislation will pass with 70 to 75 Senators' approval. "That's not only important in terms of passing something, I think it's critically important to developing the kind of support that we'll have to sustain with the American public if we're going to deal with the issue," he said.
