No repeal to Advisory Board of Health Reform Law
If you're like many Americans, you're hoping that a
new Congress and President in 2012
will repeal President Obama's health reform law. But, no matter who is
in the White House
and controls Congress, they won't be able to repeal. Tucked into the
1,000-plus pages of
the bill is a provision setting up a board called the Independent
Payment Advisory Board.
Its job is to control health care costs, and we all know what that
means: long waits for
treatment and ultimately the denial of needed care. This board is
unprecedented in the
history of America because its decisions are not subject to meaningful
legislative oversight
or amendment, its actions are immune from judicial scrutiny, and it
cannot be repealed by
Congress except for a brief window in 2017.
That's right! Congress created a powerful board that
even it can't repeal.
But, the Goldwater Institute
in Arizona has filed a lawsuit challenging this part of the law.
The Goldwater Institute lawsuit is the strongest in the nation because
it combines the
best arguments from lawsuits that have been filed by the Virginia and
Florida Attorneys
General with additional, unique legal grounds. If you'd like to learn

fight against ObamaCare.
