The actual name of it is the Affordable Care Act, and some people call it Health Care Reform.
The Public Health act
Raphael Kipp has written: 'Rules and rulemaking in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act' -- subject(s): National health insurance, Law and legislation, United States, Health insurance, Health care reform, Medical care
Depending on which bill you mean, the Affordable Care Act of 2009 was passed in early 2010 and reconciled with the Health Care and Education Reconcilation Act by both houses.

Obama hopes that the Affordable Care Act was a step towards health care reform. Only time can tell whether it will lead to any progress. He also talks about immigration reform but has not made any progress yet. His pushing for alternative energy may accelerate some progress in that area.
