Pretty difficult piece of legislation

Passing the health care reform legislation was so hard that it took the most powerful person in the world and the most powerful governing body in the world 425 days to pass and sign it into law.

Or if you want to take it back further, it took the most powerful country in the world over 36 years to reform health care (not considering entitlement add-ons such as Medicare Part D).

This was a difficult task.

Why Does a Salad Cost More Than a Big Mac?

The costs would be unchanged, its just a shift of priorities.
