Rep. Waxman rejects healthcare tax debate as a 'phony issue' - The Hill's Healthwatch

By Sam Baker - 06/30/12
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), who helped write the Affordable Care Act, said it's "ridiculous" for Republicans to attack the law's individual mandate as a tax increase.
Republicans suffered a substantive defeat as the Supreme Court ruled last week that the mandate is constitutional. But the GOP has seized on the fact that the court said the mandate is a use of Congress's taxing power. The party says President Obama misled the public by arguing that the mandate is not a tax.

"That's a phony issue," Waxman, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said on C-SPAN's "Newsmakers."
During the legislative debate over healthcare, Obama argued strenuously that the mandate was not a tax. But in court, his administration defended the policy under Congress's power to levy taxes — a position the court accepted.
