  1. Sissel v. United States Department of Health and Human Services et al

    RESPONSE re Response to Notice of Related Case

    Filed November 3, 2010

    E.g., State of Florida, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 111775, at *111-18 (illustrating the Government’s defense in challenges to the individual mandate). These allegations are reflected in the mandate’s “factual predicate,” which the Congress wrote into the Act (42 U.S.C. § 18091) and, unlike an issue of law, is subject to empirical review and analysis. For example, the Congress made empirical findings concerning the relationship between “[h]ealth insurance and health care services” and the “national economy”; the effect of the individual mandate on the “supply of, and demand for, health care services”; and the “cost” of “the uninsured” to taxpayers, governments, and the economy as a whole.
