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

TAX BILLS must originate in the House. HCR is primarily bad new public policy. It is more spending than taxing. 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.
