There are many taxes in the bill, not just the “Fee” that Roberts, et.al decided were “Taxes”

The bill did, technically, originate in the house. The senate just amended it by removing the everything, and adding in the Patient Affordability Act.

Then, the house accepted the bill as amended.

Pretty sure this isn't the first time.

I think they are not allowed to ‘ammend’ anything to be ADDING a new tax- that would violate the ‘origination’ clause, wouldnt it?
