Washington Examiner: “Unfortunately (from the perspective of ObamaCare supporters), a steady stream of revelations of previously undiscovered horrors buried in the bowels of ObamaCare appears to have more than negated any gains that the administration might otherwise have made.”
Wall St. Journal: “the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), on behalf of small business owners nationwide, has joined the lawsuit with 20 states mounting a constitutional challenge to this devastating new health-care law. This law is death by a thousand cuts for small business owners. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the overhaul will cost about $115 billion more than first projected, bringing the total to more than $1 trillion. Small businesses will also now have to deal with an onslaught of new taxes and burdensome paperwork.”
Barrons: “You may soon be paying $30,000 more in taxes, thanks to the health-care law. Here’s what to do. SAY WHAT YOU MAY ABOUT THE NEW health-care law, it won’t be cheap for high-net-worth taxpayers. The law’s $250 billion in tax hikes for individuals are aimed squarely at big earners.”
Plaintiffs in lawsuits filed to overturn Obamacare include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Washington, Virginia, the Thomas Moore Law Center, the National Federation of Independent Businesses, and the U.S. Citizens Association.
Rasmussen Reports: “63% Favor Repeal of National Health Care Plan.”
U.S. Citizens Association filed a lawsuit to overturn the new healthcare law. In a press release, the USCA said:
“The U.S. Citizens Association has assembled a team of constitutional litigators to launch a full-scale legal war against the Obama administration’s health insurance reform legislation, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. . . . It has hired three law firms to make the case in Federal Court that the new law violates protections afforded by the Bill of Rights to Americans.”
David Kopel of The Volokh Conspiracy says this about the new lawsuit:
“What makes the lawsuit significance is a well-developed argument . . . on medical privacy issues.”
