On March 21, 2010, the House of Representatives passed the Senate-version legislation, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590) (the “Affordable Care Act”) and a separate budget reconciliation bill, The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) (the “Reconciliation Act”), which addresses the House Democrat’s desired modifications to the Affordable Care Act. The president signed the Affordable Care Act into law on March 23, 2010 and signed the reconciliation Act into law on March 30, 2010.
