Did you read the whole article, or just the headline? They have two hopes of passing it with reconciliation.
1. The parliamentarian agrees with their expanded definition of what "directly" affects the budget
2. The vice president or majority party leader overrules the parliamentarian.
I don't know how likely either of those are of actually happening, but that's clearly their plan.
Hmm, I actually read the entire article!
1. To point one:
As Vox notes, it's pretty much impossible to pass this with reconciliation.
2. To point two:
They're not going nuclear for Trumpcare.
