Barack Obama has returned to the White House
Former US President Barack Obama has briefly returned to the White House for the first time since the end of his 2017 term.
Health care reform has cleared the US Congress after roughly a year of legislative drama on Capitol Hill. The House of Representatives passed the necessary legislation, on a tight, party-line vote, handing President Barack Obama a crucial victory.
"We pushed back on the undue influences of special interests," Obama said. "We didn't give in to mistrust or to cynicism or to fear. Instead, we proved we are still a people capable of doing big things."
He staked his young presidency on the outcome of this vote. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a final pitch for the bill, saying the president's economic agenda is at stake.
"The best action we can take on behalf of America's family budget and on behalf of the federal budget is to pass health care reform," she said.
In a country where most people rely on private insurance to help meet their medical costs, Democrats said the goal was to provide access to affordable coverage for as many Americans as possible.
Republicans stood united in opposition to the legislation, claiming it would increase the national debt, and put the government in firm control of the health care system.
