Hi tkc,

It was a struggle for both the House & the Senate.
Nancy had a lot more cats to deal with than Harry.
They both deserve a lot of credit!

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY

•On February 25th, House and Senate leaders of both parties met with President Obama at the Blair House to discuss moving forward with comprehensive health reform.

•On March 18th, House Democrats unveiled legislation to improve the Senate-passed bill achieving our three key goals—affordability for the middle class, accessibility for all Americans, and accountability for the insurance industry.

•On March 21st, the House passed the Affordable Care Act by a vote of 219 to 212—sending it to the President for his signature into law on March 23rd.

•The House also passed the Reconciliation bill to improve the Affordable Care Act by a vote of 220 to 211 on the 21st—which the Senate passed on March 25th, with two small changes, and it returned to the House later that evening, passing by a vote of 220-207.

•The President signed the Reconciliation bill into law on March 30th.

Clo, my faulty memory is recalling the difficulty was fighting the Senate GOP filibuster causing the Dems to compromise and compromise. But my memory ain't what it use to be.
