Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) and more than 50 fellow members of the RSC have signed onto an Amicus Brief in support of the legal challenge to ObamaCare brought by 20 States and the National Federation of Independent Business.

The brief to be filed later this week argues that Congress lacks the authority under the Constitution’s Commerce Clause to impose an “individual mandate” on Americans to purchase health insurance. ObamaCare contains no severability clause, so if any one portion gets struck down by the courts the entire law must be overturned.

“In addition to voting for outright repeal, conservatives can support legal challenges, defund ObamaCare, and dispute the job-killing regulations it produces,” said Chairman Price. “Since the White House and Senate stand in the way of repeal, a new Republican majority will pursue every possible avenue to protect families and businesses from this job-killing and unconstitutional takeover of health care. The need for real solutions that rein in costs is greater now than ever. Even as Republicans combat ObamaCare, we will keep working to replace it with affordable reforms that give families more control over their health care decisions.”
