The Historic Decision

Statement

In March, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on four areas where President Obama's overhaul of the healthcare system raised serious Constitutional questions.

Is the individual mandate a tax, and therefore not ripe for the Court to consider until it goes into effect in 2014?

Is the individual mandate unconstitutional?

Is the individual mandate severable from the rest of the law?

Is the expansion of Medicaid too coercive for the states?

In anticipation of the Supreme Court's decision on this historic case, Senator

Lee provides his analysis of each of these issues to help Americans better understand the impact that this decision will have on the healthcare system, the limits of Congress' power, the boundaries between state and federal power, and the individual liberties of all Americans.
