During today’s bipartisan health care summit, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) — who continues to argue that Congress is not able to pass comprehensive legislation — cautioned Democrats against using reconciliation to pass health care reform. “You can say that this process has been used before and that would be right, but it has never been used for anything like this,” he claimed:

ALEXANDER: Before we go further today that the Democratic Congressional leaders and you Mr. President renounce this idea of going back to the Congress and jamming through…a little used process we call reconciliation your version of the bill…Senator Byrd who is the constitutional authority of the Senate said it would be an outrage to run the health care bill th rough the Senate like a freight train iwth this process.
