dec 24, 2009 - Bill Was Passed in the Senate
Description:
This was taken by the House Ways and Means committee in the senate.
This was not a bi-partisan act and was voted for by almost all democrats by a 60-39 lead.
Public opinion on the affordable care act was not favorable at the time, as many Americans were in disapproval of specific elements of the act -but they did want a change in health care in general.
