Around one hundred lawsuits challenging the president’s
signature policy achievement are currently making their way through the courts.
Some of these lawsuits challenge very specific parts of the
law, while others are challenging the law in its entirety. Here is a list of
the six major legal challenges to the law.
1. Legal Taking of Private Property
Hotze v. Sebelius challenges the constitutionality of the employer
mandate. The Fifth Amendment prohibits the government from taking private
property for public use without “just compensation.” Steve Hotze, a doctor in Texas , is arguing that
Obamacare violates this “takings clause” by mandating that his business give
money to another business, specifically an insurance company, without any
compensation.
