The Affordable Care Act
Their need for an accomplishment clearly outweighed getting this done right.
The issue discussed here was mentioned back then but haste was apparently more important.
Now, we'll see what happens...
On the PacificLegal.org website, Paul J. Beard II and Timothy Sandefur
are involved in this:
"Pacific Legal Foundation has launched a new constitutional cause of action against the federal Affordable Care Act. The ACA imposes a charge on Americans who fail to buy health insurance — a charge that the U.S. Supreme Court recently characterized as a federal tax. PLF’s amended complaint alleges that this purported tax is illegal because it was introduced in the Senate rather than the House, as required by the Constitution’s Origination Clause for new revenue-raising bills (Article I, Section 7)."
