If the senate gets to 60 seats it will be the first time its happen with a filibuster proof house and senate as well as the same party in the oval office since 1930. The party can do absolutely anything they want if that happens.

Yeah, but if I remember right it wasn't a filibuster that killed the health care plan back then, I think in the end alot of democrats were against it as well.
Also, if they overreach, like Gingrich did, it'll bite them in the ass in 2010.
Either way, they'll get something done, and it'll be better than the system we have now, but I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for us to copy Canada.
