They would have to start over to do that, and they are in a big hurry. They can’t take a bill that has gone through the normal process and suddenly treat it like it has been through the “reconciliation process.”

There are some other disadvantages to using reconciliation; bills passed in that manner expire in 5 years, like the GWB tax cuts.
