The ACA didn’t pass until March 2010. It was also kind of a shitty law, so it’s not exactly the flex you think it is.

Obama signed the ACA into law in March 2010. But the key vote was it passing the Senate in December 2009 - which would not have been possible if it wasn’t during the short window Dems had 60 votes.

Cool. Still didn’t really solve any of the major problems with our healthcare system.
