Doesn't almost any legislation affect the budget in a loose sense?
And yet, it seems to only be used to specifically address budgets in the past, right?

It seems to me that some contested elements of health care wouldn't seem to be reconciled under the usual uses of reconciliation, like handling the differences about abortions in the two versions.
Or even that some of the rules about the length of deficits would make it hard to use:

(I'm guessing that ADqtPiMel doesn't need the wikipedia links, but I thought other people might find them interesting.)
