In a statement posted Monday, the foundation claimed the Affordable Care Act as America knows it essentially was created by the Senate -- by taking an unrelated House bill, gutting it and replacing the text with ObamaCare.
"This was done as part of an overall effort to avoid fair democratic deliberation over the merits of that law," the foundation said.
Lower courts have rejected the foundation's argument. A unanimous three-judge panel of the federal appeals court in Washington said that while the health care law does contain tax-raising provisions, its primary purpose was not to raise revenue, but rather to expand health care coverage.
When the full 11-judge appeals court considered whether to hear the case, the four Republican-appointed judges concluded that the legislation should qualify as revenue-producing. But they would have ruled in favor of the administration anyway. They said the bill properly originated in the House, even if the measure was stripped of its original language.
The petition to the Supreme Court revives the allegation.
The petition states: "The PPACA did not originate in the House, but in the Senate, which erased the entire text of a House-passed bill relating to a different subject and replaced it with what became PPACA."
Except the PPACA did originate in the House. It was reported out of the House committee on July 14, 2009, passed by the House and sent to the Senate, where we waited for Max Baucus to delay it for as long as possible before they finally passed their version on December 23, 2009. (I'm writing these dates from memory, because it's etched on my soul forever.)
let's get to the bottom line the republican right is still trying to pry you away from ObamaCares but for who insurance companies are doing fine your rates and quality of care and assurance of not being denied or drop is guaranteed so again who are they denying this to you for???????
you might want to ask yourself if they think that they can come up with a more affordable plan after 60+ repeal attempts and suits they need to add up the millions these attempts have and will cost you in taxpayer money and congressional time when other things more important than pouty mouth efforts to get back at Pres. at your expense?????????????????????????????????????????
