3 Apr 2012    Obama & the left take on SCOTUS President Barack Obama has joined a growing number of Democratic lawmakers, left-leaning commentators and progressive activists who are warning the Supreme Court on the health care law: Don’t you dare overturn it.   1 Apr 2012    If the health law falls, what's next? If the justices knock out key parts of the law or bring down the whole thing, the reverberations could be felt across the legal landscape for generations to come, radically reining in the scope of federal power, according to supporters of the law and others who closely track the high court.   21 Feb 2012    Supreme Court extends health care arguments The Supreme Court has announced it will allow a full six hours for oral arguments over constitutional challenges to President Obama's health care law, granting the case the longest hearing in recent history.   21 Feb 2012    The ObamaCare Mandates Have Only Just Begun In a Wall Street Journal editorial, Dr. Gottlieb explains that the federal government will continue to issue similar mandates and edicts via the ObamaCare United States Preventive Services Task Force, a single committee that has the power to evaluate preventive health services and decide which will- and will not- be covered by health insurance plans.   9 Jan 2012    27 Congressmen to Court: If Individual Mandate's Unconstitutional, Strike Down All Obamacare Twenty-seven members of Congress, including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas), have signed an amicus brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down the entire Obamacare law if it finds that the individual mandate provision is unconstitutional.   9 Jan 2012    Union Workers Overwhelmingly Benefit from ObamaCare Waivers   Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, more than 1,200 companies have been accorded waivers from the healthcare reform law, the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) disclosed Friday, the final day that the agency is required to report the data.   9 Jan 2012    Appeals court rules against Obama healthcare mandate President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law suffered a setback on Friday when an appeals court ruled that it was unconstitutional to require all Americans to buy insurance or face a penalty.   31 Mar 2011    AARP's status as tax-exempt questioned AARP lobbied for the new health care law and now it stands to profit, Republican lawmakers charged on Wednesday as they called for the IRS to investigate whether the powerful interest group representing older Americans should be stripped of its federal tax exemption.     14 Dec 2010    Long legal fight ahead for health law The health care law suffered its first major legal setback Monday when a federal judge declared that the heart of the sweeping legislation is unconstitutional. The decision handed Republican foes ammunition for their repeal effort next year.   14 Dec 2010    VA decision sends ObamaCare to Supreme Court U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson, a Republican appointee in Richmond, ruled yesterday that Congress does not have the authority to force people to purchase health insurance. It marked the first major legal setback for Obama's healthcare overhaul, and handed Republican foes ammunition for their repeal effort next year.   4 Dec 2010    Texan calls for jail time for enforcing Obamacare A bill that has been prefiled for the 2011 state legislative session creates penalties of up to $5,000 in fines and up to five years in jail for anyone guilty of the "felony" of attempting "to enforce an act, order, law, statute, rule or regulation" of Obamacare, the president's plan that effectively nationalizes the health-care decision making process.   30 Mar 2010    Dem AGs rebuff GOP govs on health-care lawsuits Republican governors in two western states want to join in legal challenges to recent federal health care legislation, but each is meeting stiff resistance from the same obstacle: an attorney general from the rival party.   29 Mar 2010    Do United Methodists really support healthcare bill? The president of a religious watchdog group says a top government official has recognized United Methodist leaders for their liberal leanings.     23 Mar 2010    White House, experts: Health care suit will fail The White House says it isn't worried that 13 state attorneys general are suing to overturn the massive health care overhaul, and many legal experts agree the effort is futile.   23 Mar 2010    Tea partiers vow revenge over health overhaul Tea party activists aren't just angry that Democrats passed a major health care overhaul, they are out for revenge.   22 Mar 2010    House sends health care overhaul bill to Obama A transformative health care bill is headed to President Barack Obama for his signature as Congress takes the final steps in Democrats' improbable and history-making push for near-universal medical coverage.   16 Mar 2010    House may try to pass Senate health-care bill without voting on it After laying the groundwork for a decisive vote this week on the Senate's health-care bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Monday that she might attempt to pass the measure without having members vote on it.   15 Mar 2010    Health-care reform's road map through the House The health-care reform bill embarks on its final journey through the House this week, beginning Monday at the Budget Committee and ending, supporters hope, with a vote on final passage on the House floor by the weekend.   5 Mar 2010    Rep. Blackburn: Obamacare is in Trouble If Democrats were to bring President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform package to the House floor today it would likely fail, according to Tennessee Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn.   3 Mar 2010    Obama Pushes Health Care Nuclear Option President Obama is advocating the use of the budget reconciliation process to pass ObamaCare through the House and Senate.  This procedure also referred to as the ObamaCare Nuclear Option and the Health Care Nuclear Option because the liberals are using this procedure as a means to get around the filibuster in the Senate.  This same President Obama who opposed the Nuclear Option in 2005 as a back bench Senator.   3 Mar 2010    Here Comes the Reconciliation We knew it was coming.   It's been a threat hanging out there since last spring.  But now it's official. Reconciliation, aka "a simple up or down vote" according to those trying to hide their real intentions from a critical public, is on the way to pass sweeping health care legislation by avoiding a Republican filibuster.   27 Jan 2010    Backroom Health Care Deals Fuel Voter Anger Special legislative favors, especially one designed to secure a Nebraska senator's vote for the embattled health care package, ignited so much public outrage that President Barack Obama is calling them a mistake and House leaders say the bill can't be resurrected unless such sweetheart deals are scrapped.   10 Dec 2009    FEHBP Plan Is No 'Moderate Compromise' Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has announced that he has reached a super secret compromise on how to deal with the so-called public option for health reform.  While Reid said the agreement was too important to actually tell anyone what is in it, most of the details have been leaked to the press.   23 Oct 2009    Harry Reid's Healthcare bill   8 Oct 2009    UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE NOT SO UNIVERSAL   3 Oct 2009    Don't buy the lie   1 Oct 2009    Senate HELP Bill   1 Oct 2009    America’s Healthy Future Act of 2009   1 Oct 2009    HR3200   1 Oct 2009    Baracks's Healthcare Fables
