A motion was filed by the U. S. Department of Justice, to sack a complaint that confronts the constitutionality of the federal health care reform act, filed by Florida’s attorney general, attorneys general of 19 other states and the National Federation of Independent Business.
The motion claims that the court needs authority and that the complaint fails to state aver for which, relief can be granted.
Comprehensive health care treatment to 32 million Americans by 2019 through market reforms, tax inducements and the expansion of eligibility for Medicaid is what the Government contends that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will do.
The claim declares that the law breaches on the constitutional rights of Americans, by authorization they have health care exposure or pay a tax penalty.
If any of their employees obtains Government-subsidized coverage on their own, the businesses that employ more than 50 workers would have to provide coverage or pay a $2,000-a-worker sentence; this is what the bill requires.
Florida Attorney General, Bill McCollum, leading the court battle, said “the Justice Department’s arguments in its motion clash directly with comments made by President Obama during the debate on the health care reform bill, including the president’s insistence on national television that the purchase mandate was absolutely not a tax”.
