"Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (H.R.3590) "Senate bill" or "Baucus bill" is not the more desirable implementation of the two versions.

Except that it is the only one that may yet pass:

• The House bill will not be passed by the Senate with its new teabagger from Massachusetts.
  
• A conference bill will not be passed by the Senate with its new teabagger from Massachusetts.
  
• The Senate bill might yet be passed by the House as is.

Or we could have a conference bill and the democrats might try to defeat a filibuster.
Or the House could kill the Senate bill and there would be no health reform of any description.
