The reconciliation between the House and the Senate bills - the so-called "conference report" can be filibustered. It's like any other bill, except that it can't be amended. (And actually, it *can* be amended, but then it's not the conference report any more, and it has to go through the whole process again.)
The "Budget Reconciliation" process that has been talked about has to do with the budget passed in the spring. In that, was a line saying that "a health care reform bill saving "X" amount of dollars will be included among the overall spending bills Congress passes. That bill set a deadline for this to happen of October 15th. Since it didn't happen, the way is clear to write a bill that "reconciles" that line in the budget bill with the overall spending passed by Congress. THAT'S the bill that can't be filibustered, and only needs 51 votes to pass.
Two different "reconciliations." Clear as mud, but not half as much fun.
