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or amendment, its actions are immune from judicial scrutiny, and it cannot be repealed by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 more about this
