Some GOP-Led States Plan to Resist Health Care Law, As Ruling Reins in Medicaid Expansion

  4. According to Article 1 of the Constitution all tax bills must originate in the House of Representatives. When the Democrats started this bill in 2009 it originated in the United States Senate because it was being sold as a purchase and not a tax.
