Well, the Senate finally voted on it, after the federal judge declared the law unconstitutional in Florida. Now, the Supreme Court will decide the constitutionality and the future of the bill when it reaches the court - which could be years.
However, the Senate passed the repeal of a provision of the reform that requires all small businesses to file documents on goods and services that cost more than $ 0. This assertion would put a heavy burden on businesses and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Nearly all Democrats support the repeal of this provision, including President Obama.
Republicans believed that voting for the repeal give Democrats a second chance to think about their first vote for reform and "to listen to those who have been desperately trying to get your attention."
Yahoo! News reports that Democrats are trying to avoid the political implications of the reform because 22 seats will be up for election in 2012. If the Democrats lose their majority in the Senate, Republicans have the majority in both chambers .
Democrats continue to tout the benefits of reform and Republicans will continue to focus on the most controversial parts of the reform.
