However, as the new resolution points out, the PPACA was originally introduced in the Senate as an amendment to an unrelated bill.
The Republican representatives challenging the healthcare law in the new resolution claim that the PPACA was simply a bill for raising revenue and, thus, believe the law to be unconstitutional, according to the report.
