Found this on another thread:

Section 155
If any provision of this division, or any application of such provision to any person or circumstance, is held to be unconstitutional, the remainder of the provisions of this division and the application of the provision to any other person or circumstance shall not be affected.


Looks like it DOES have a severability clause

It depends on which Bill. The original House bill may have had it or the so called reconciliation package. Obama signed the Senate Bill which was approved by both Houses, but I can’t imagine the OAG of VA would put the following in if there was severability:

Par 6 of the OAG’s complaint says there is NO severability provision plus in Par 5 of the intro, it is basically if the individual mandate is thrown out then the whole statutory House of Cards is negated.
