How is this case different from the other lawsuits filed against Obamacare?
A. The cases brought by the States are being represented primarily by the attorneys’ general of the states. They are primarily attacking the individual mandate within Obamacare. The OCA is different in several ways: first, we represent the people, not the states; second, we oppose Obamacare in its entirety, not just the individual mandate; third, we are arguing that the commerce clause precedent from 1942 should be overturned, not just reinterpreted. For all these reasons, we are separate from the States’ lawsuits. We hope they succeed, and we benefit from any victories they have in court, but the OCA takes on a much bigger battle than what the states have chosen to take on.
