On Saturday, the House passed the Affordable Health Care for America Act (H.R. 3962) with a vote of 220-215. Even with the passage of the House bill, overall healthcare reform has some hurdles to clear. The Senate bill is still awaiting a score (cost) from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Once the CBO provides its analysis, the Senate will have a floor vote, which will most likely be contentious. If and when the Senate passes its reform bill, the House and Senate reform proposals will have to be merged before anything is sent to the President to sign.
