If he wins the democrats will have one of three choices:

1. The house will vote on the same bill the senate has already passed. If they vote on the exact same bill and pass it then there is no need for another senate vote.

2. Work with the republicans to create a new health care bill that both parties can get behind.

3. Do nothing and there will be no real healh care reform.

Chances are it will be #3. If faced with the idea of passing the senate bill or no bill at all the house may vote for the senate bill, but probably not. The republicans really aren't interested in health care reform so they have no great desire to create any health care bill with or without the democrats so I think options 1 and 2 are going to be off the table.
