H.R. 3962, the "Affordable Health Care for America Act"

Bill Status: 
Passed by House
Last Action: 
Nov 7, 2009

The Committee on Energy and Commerce considered H.R. 3200, America's Affordable Health Choices Act, between March-July 2009 and passed it out of Committee on July 31, 2009.  The bill was superseded first by H.R. 3962, and then later by H.R. 3590, which eventually was signed into law as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

On October 29, 2009, Rep. Dingell introduced H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act.  On November 7, 2009, the House passed the bill, as amended, by a roll call vote of 220 - 215.

H.R. 3962 was eventually superseded by H.R. 3590.  In the second session of the 111th Congress, however, H.R. 3962 was amended by the Senate as the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010, which became Public Law 111-192.
