why was the CARES act, H.R.748 originally introduced 1/24/2019? I thought this was in response to the covid-19 pandemic crisis. https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/748 Edit, disregard. Looks like they took an existing bill dead in committee and reworked it.
The bill that became the ACA/Obamacare, H.R. 3590, originated in the House as the Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009.It was gutted by the Senate and replaced with the ACA before being passed and sent back to the House for final passage.
