Why are Democrats seriously considering the reconciliation option?

If democrats pass healthcare, they run out the private industry and establish a government controlled program.  Though they will face a short term defeat, democrats expect that the dependency created by the program will shore up their base and make yet others reliant upon the system.  They can then accuse the GOP of trying to end national healthcare and reap the rewards as the labor party did in Britain with the system never having been changed and electoral success.  The Tories in Britain are only a shadow of their former self, only promising to manage the socialist system more effectively.  They had some hope with Thatcher, but Thatcher did not end the system.  Once healthcare is passed the dems job is done and the US will finally be socialist and nothing will ever change that.  This is the goal.
