The 2010's - Economic Recovery

2010

January 2010 - With versions passed by the House and Senate during December 2009, both houses attempt to reconcile the Health Care Reform and expansion into a bill that can pass both houses. The legislation, which would be the most sweeping change in health care law since Medicare, has been a priority for the Obama administration despite the disproval from the majority of the public to the specific plans involved.

January 19, 2010 - Scott Brown, a Republican reformer from Massachusetts, stuns the nation with an upset win for the special election Senate seat. He is the first Republican elected to the Senate from the state since 1972 and only Republican member of the Massachusetts Democratic congressional delegation. His election puts a halt to the 60 seat Demoractic super majority in the Senate and will prevent President Obama and the Democratic leadership from pushing legislation in future votes past a Republican filibuster.

March 25, 2010 - The U.S. House of Representatives finalizes the Health Care legislation approved by the Senate, extending health benefits and insurance to most Americans. The legislation, passed on a partisan basis by the Democratic Majority, has caused a significant rift within the public, who disapproves of the bill, and is expected to test the Democratic Party's hold on both houses of Congress during the mid-term elections in November.
