Naw. McConnell signed off on minority blanket approval of amendments. The Dems [edit: if they lose the 60th vote] will just have the House pass the already passed Senate bill, and work on it later; or just do reconciliation. Healthcare reform is a done deal, the only remaining questions are what the startup bill will specifically contain, and how it's passed.
BTW, the main reason it's unpopular is that it doesn't contain a public option. Aside from the minority right who would vote against any healthcare reform, any "unpopularity" stems from the majority who want healthcare reform considering the current Senate version of the bill being too reconcilatory, too weak, too watered down.
