Yes, it only takes 8 or 9 Senate dems to stop this from hapenning. They stopped the global warming tax nonsense that way (e.g. Webb, Virginia dem voted to require 60 votes for massive GW taxes).

“Webb, Virginia dem voted to require 60 votes for massive GW taxes).”

And a huge part of Webb’s constituency is government employees who have the best health insurance going. There is no way he is going to vote to take away their benefits.

If you count Sanders and Lieberman (independents) the dems have 59 seats in the senate. If 5 defect they lose. Assuming all Republicans vote against it there should be at least 5 conservative Dems that will vote against it.
