Congress Passes Sweeping Health Reform Containing Significant Oral Health Provisions
Chicago, March 22, 2010—Late last night, the U.S. House of Representatives staged a series of votes on health reform legislation, thus ushering in sweeping health reform and a new era of heath care delivery in the United States. The 219-212 House vote for passage of H.R. 3950, the health reform bill, already passed by the Senate on Christmas Eve, closely followed party lines with only Democrats voting in favor of the measure.  The bill now awaits President Obama's signature in order to become law, which is anticipated as early as Tuesday, the 24th.  Just minutes after the vote was taken on H.R. 3590 another vote to pass a reconciliation bill, H.R. 4872, was passed by the House to amend some of the provisions contained within the health reform package.  The Senate is expected to vote on the reconciliation bill later this week.
