ACA Developments – House Fails to Override ACA Veto

On Tuesday, February 2 by a vote of 241 to 186 the House of Representatives failed to override President Obama’s veto of a budget reconciliation legislation that would have dismantled major portions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Specifically, the legislation had proposed to repeal much of the ACA, including the excise tax on high value employer-sponsored health care benefits.
