Incoming likely speaker Nancy Pelosi is laying down a marker that newly-empowered Democrats will go to court to protect Obamacare, in one of the first acts of the Democratic-run House.
Pelosi, who stands for election on Thursday, has assembled a new rules package that specifically commits the House to a legal case that has once again thrown President Obama's signature health plan into jeopardy.
Pelosi helped marshall through Obamcare during her first term as speaker. Now, the new rules package that the Democratic House will codify in their traditional first legislative action, will specifically authorize the House to intervene in the case.
A section titled 'LEGAL ISSUES RELATED TO THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT' authorizes Pelosi or whomever is elected speaker 'to intervene, otherwise appear, or take any other steps, in the case of Texas v. United States ... and in any appellate proceedings arising from such case.'
A new House rules package would authorize likely Speaker Nancy Pelosi to intervene in an Obamacare case
The passage references to the Obamacare lawsuit where a federal judge in Texas ruled the law unconstitutional without its individual mandate, which the Republican Congress removed. The case is under appeal.
The package also authorizes the speaker to intervene in 'any other cases' involving Obamacare, whose official name is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In addition, she is empowered to intervene legally to protect the law's popular provisions dealing with preexisting conditions.
A Democratic source flagged the Obamacare provision as a key element of the package, Axios reported.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) must find a way to reopen the government along with President Trump, but there are fights brewing behind the scenes over Obamacare
The president said during the campaign he would repeal and replace Obamacare. That didn't happen, but a federal judge in Texas has ruled against it
Supporters of the Affordable Care Act cheer after the Supreme Court ruled that Obamacare tax credits can go to residents of any state, outside the Supreme Court in Washington, DC, USA, 25 June 2015 (reissued 15 December 2018). According to media reports, a judge in Texas has declared the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, as unconstitutional
Pelosi's office announced that Douglas Letter will serve as the new general counsel for the House
Those provisions were a key campaign issue for Democrats as they picked up 40 House seats and swept into House control.
Just days ago, Pelosi announced that former Justice Department official Douglas Letter will serve as the new House general counsel. The Berkeley Law grad is a seasoned litigator who served as director of the Civil Division's appellate staff at the Justice Department.
The legal fight to preserve Obamacare is one of many battles the Democratic House will engage as it seeks to investigate President Trump. Democrats also say they have an ambitious legislative agenda, but any policy ideas would have to clear the GOP Senate and get Trump's signature.
But in the meantime, the House can act on symbolic actions unilaterally, as they do in the rules package, renaming the Education and the Workforce Committee back to the old Education and Labor panel. The powerful Committee on Oversight and Government reform is being rechristened the committee on Oversight and Reform.
Federal Judge Reed O’Connor ruled in December that Obamacare's Individual Mandate unconstitutional and inseverable after the GOP congress ended the tax many for Americans who don't comply with the 'individual mandate' to buy health insurance.

The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
