The Affordable Care Act (G): The Final Votes
By: Joseph L. Bower and Michael Norris
Abstract
In the fall of 2009, the House and Senate each voted to pass health reform bills. These bills then had to be combined into the Affordable Care Act and the ACA had to be passed by both houses. Reconciliation had to be used because of Republican Scott Brown's Senate victory in Massachusetts.
