New Obamacare Challenge Reaching Supreme Court

WASHINGTON (AP) - Opponents of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul are taking yet another challenge to the law to the Supreme Court, and say they will be back with more if this one fails.

An appeal being filed Monday by the Pacific Legal Foundation contends that the law violates the provision of the Constitution that requires tax-raising bills to originate in the House of Representatives.

Pacific Legal Foundation lawyer Timothy Sandefur says the problem with the law is just one example of how "Obamacare is so unconstitutional in so many ways."

Sandefur says the justices will face one challenge to the law after another until it is significantly changed or repealed.
The court has twice turned back major challenges to the health care law, in opinions written by Chief Justice John Roberts.
