If HealthCare is a tax, the congress can tax, could the house just vote to drop the tax?

Didn't Obamacare unconstitutionally start in the Senate, if it is a tax? Or am I thinking of a different bill?

Silly guys, the R's have been filibustering the hell out of the D's this past 2 years. You don't think the D's will do the same?

Yes , the house could and would have the votes , but you need a new Senate & President to get it through there.

So continue to require insurance to cover preexisting conditions, but not have a mandate? That wouldn't work. They need to repeal the whole thing. And I sure hope that's what they do.

You are absolutely right!!! check out the wiki page! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act

"PPACA passed the Senate on December 24, 2009, by a vote of 60–39 with all Democrats and two Independents voting for, and all but one Republican voting against.[10] It passed the House of Representatives on March 21, 2010, by a vote of 219–212, with 34 Democrats and all 178 Republicans voting against the bill.[11]"

Someone email Judge Nap!

My previous post was a response to "sailingaway" saying "Didn't Obamacare unconstitutionally start in the Senate, if it is a tax? Or am I thinking of a different bill?" I may have not made that clear.
