U.S. House Republicans sued President Barack Obama’s administration over implementation of the 2010 health-care law, saying the president exceeded his authority by delaying part of the program.
The complaint filed yesterday in Washington federal court said the president unlawfully postponed one of the Affordable Care Act’s central requirements -- that most employers provide insurance to workers -- without a vote of Congress. The House also claimed the administration is improperly making payments to insurance companies.
