It would be unconstitutional since money bills must originate in the House.

To the extent that one would consider it a tax bill, it doesn't matter. The bill did originate in the House. The House went first on HCR over Thanksgiving weekend.

The bill did initiate in the house. It had a completely different purpose, but it was a house bill — the Senate simply amended it with the Reid health bill.
