A Texas doctor sued the U.S. over President Barack Obama’s health-care law on claims the U.S. Supreme Court overlooked when it upheld the Affordable Care Act.

Steven Hotze of Houston claims the law violates the U.S. Constitution’s origination and takings clauses, which weren’t part of arguments before the Supreme Court. The high court upheld the act last year by a 5-to-4 vote.
