On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Seven days later, the president signed into law a reconciliation measure, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. The passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the reconciliation measure (collectively, the "Act") has resulted in comprehensive health care reform legislation. The effects of the Act on the U.S. economy could be as sweeping as those resulting from the passage of Medicare and Social Security.
