Will it pass?

They're all true.

Yes, I could have said "The Slaughter Rule Change" instead of "parlimentary trickery".

And since that technically is not "passed" under the constitution, all that is required is a lawsuit to get it to the Supreme Court. I think that case would progress quickly, like "Bush V. Gore" in 2000 because of the importance of it.

And people will, if they have the money, fly elsewhere for procedures when the care here starts to go down the toilet, as it must. Why? Because 46% of doctors say that they are considering leaving medicine if this passes, and adding many million of new insured people who will not pay premiums will put more patients against less doctors. That will result in Soviet-style lines, like the Russians used to wait in for toilet paper, and similar to the Canadian debacle of a healthcare system now.

As I said, all are possible outcomes for this legislation.
