On February 2, 2016, the House failed to muster the votes needed to override President Obama's veto of H.R. 3762, the "Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act." As previously reported, the bill would have repealed key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), including insurance subsidy and mandate provisions, Medicaid expansion, tax provisions, and the transitional reinsurance program. President Obama vetoed the legislation on January 8, 2016, and the House fell short of the two-thirds vote needed to override the veto (the vote was 241 to 186).
