You might have to change some Senate rules, yes.

If you're willing to risk changing Senate rules in spite of all the controversy and blowback that might entail, why not just invoke the nuclear option and pass the entire healthcare reform bill with 50 votes?
Honest question:

Why is passing legislation with a majority considered a nuclear option?
