The Constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

By Sheldon Nahmod [via Nahmod Law]


On January 18, 2012, I blogged about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act whose constitutionality is currently before the Supreme Court.

In that post, I focused on the Commerce Clause challenge to the individual mandate.

On February 10, 2012, I participated in an hour-long discussion of the overall constitutionality of the Act at a program sponsored by the Shriver Center and held in Chicago.

This discussion, which was videotaped, covered the Commerce Clause, the Taxing Power, the expansion of Medicaid, and even the federal Tax Injunction Act.

Below is the Youtube link to this discussion. I hope you find it of interest.
