Gohmert: Affordable Care Act Is Unconstitutional

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Tyler Congressman Louie Gohmert says the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional because it was a bill for raising revenue that did not originate in the House of Representatives. Gohmert says the president misled the American people about the health-care reform bill. According to Gohmert, “It was not, is not, true that if you like your insurance, you could keep it. People have already lost doctors who were assured if you like your doctor, you keep [him or her]. That was simply not true.” Gohmert has 10 co-sponsors of a new resolution. It says the penalty, or tax, in the bill on people who don’t buy health insurance originated in the Senate — and he says that violates the Constitution.
