112TH CONGRESS REPORT
1st Session HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 112-1
INSTRUCTING CERTAIN COMMITTEES TO REPORT LEGIS-
LATION REPLACING THE JOB-KILLING HEALTH CARE
LAW
JANUARY 6, 2011.-Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed
Mr. DREIER, from the Committee on Rules,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany H. Res. 9]
The Committee on Rules, to whom was referred the resolution
(H. Res. 9) instructing certain committees to report legislation re-
placing the job-killing health care law, having considered the same,
report favorably thereon and recommend that the resolution be
agreed to, without amendment.
PURPOSE AND SUMMARY
H. Res. 9 directs the Committee on Education and Labor, the
Committee on Energy and Commerce, the Committee on the Judici-
ary, and the Committee on Ways and Means to report to the House
legislation proposing changes to replace the existing health care
law.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
The 111th Congress passed health care reform proposing it
would create jobs, lower costs, and allow Americans to keep their
health care. President Obama signed health care reform into law
in March 2010. Immediately following enactment of the law, sev-
eral lawsuits were filed in various courts challenging the constitu-
tionality of the law's individual mandate and expansion of Med-
icaid. On December 13, 2010, a District Court Judge ruled in Vir-
ginia v. Sebelius that section 1501 of P.L. 111-148 requiring indi-
viduals to purchase health insurance is unconstitutional because it
exceeds Congress's authority under the Commerce Clause. At the
end of 2010, seven States: Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mis-
souri, Utah and Virginia have enacted statutes exempting state
residents from compliance with certain health care law provisions.
