Reconciliation isn't about not liking it and has been used in virtually every health care bill in this country.
Every bill has to "fix" the difference between the house version and the senate version, this one just used the "reconciliation" procedure to do it to avoid a filibuster in the senate. It has nothing to do with how much the people who actually voted for it like it.
And one would think that this is the most perfect bill ever, given how hard it is for anyone to actually make a case against it based on what is on it.
It is specially puzzling when someone complains that this bill doesn't go far enough in providing benefits or a public option while complaining about the cost of what is being provided. I mean, sure, it'd be lovely if we had full coverage for everything for free forever, but that is not reality.
