I’m not sure I follow the process...

1. House passes 2309 page bill with public option
2. House Rules strips content and inserts Senate Bill
3. Senate passes stripped House version via reconciliation
4. President signs law.

Is that it? So this is the Slaughter trick, isn’t it, where the House passes a bill they didn’t vote on?

“House Rules strips content and inserts Senate Bill”

This is the bill that will modify the senate bill once the senate bill becames law. The senate bill will be deemed passed via Slaugher option and Bambi will sign it. This bill on the other hand will have to be voted on in the senate via reconciliation (51 votes).
