Abstract
I was in Washington, DC with my two sons (then 9 and 13) the weekend of March 19–21, 2010. As we emerged from the Union Station Metro stop that bright Saturday morning, I got goose bumps when I saw the Capitol Dome, in part because I like public spaces, but also because it was a momentous weekend. That day, the House began debating the final passage of the Senate bill as well as the reconciliation bill that paved the way for final passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that was signed into law on March 23, 2010.
