A Florida orthodontist sued the Obama
administration on Tuesday, insisting that the White House must abandon
changes it has made on its own to the Affordable Care Act, instead
obeying the letter of the law as Congress passed it.
The
administration has made several tweaks to the Obamacare law, including a
one-year delay of a measure that requires companies with 50 or more
employees to offer them health insurance or pay financial penalties.
The
law specifies an exact date when that feature is to go into effect –
January 1, 2014 – but the White House announced in July that it would
push that date back, angering some in Congress who saw the move as a
unilateral power grab.
The
lawsuit, filed by Dr. Larry Kawa, claims that the regulatory changes
violate the Administrative Procedure Act and go beyond President Obama’s
constitutional powers.
'He has no more power to do that than your or I,' Kawa told reporters during a press conference Tuesday. 'In fact, he has an affirmative duty to enforce the law, and we are here to make sure that he does that.'
