It was an unimportant argument so SCOTUS declined to hear it.

*  But the problem is not the US Supreme Court, it's the Republican Congress, some of them being lawyers, educated, who employe countless advisors in all areas of specialties, but continue to adhere to the mandates of their corporate owners, who pay them to continue to create legislation to appeal the "Blackman's Healthcare Plan", at all cost! This goes beyond obserdity, it's blatant in your face F..K You! They are not concerned about the public need for affordable healthcare, because it's hindering the profits of the corporations and their Billionair owners!
*  And the US taxpayer has been paying the hundreds of Republican congresspeople $175,000/year, plus benefits, and instead of addressing real problems (like Immigration reform), they have tried to repeal Obamacare 60 times in the past few years!  Why do people vote for a GOP that proves over and over again that all they want to do is waste our time and money?
   *  Why is there Political corruption Parties at all ?  There is not one word in the US Constitution that could be used to support the existance of Political corruption Parties .  Also since the 1st Amendment forbids congress from establishing a religion ( group of believers ) , it could be read as forbidding Group Rights or Groups in government .
*  My wish, my prayer to my God "please rid the world of every Republican." I'm just OVER the GOP. They do NOTHING for America. They seek to DESTROY every good thing done by the Democratic party not on principal, but rather in distain of a leader that actually cares. I have come to HATE the Republican Party. They are a snivling pack of cowards too bent on "being right" instead of helping Americans. The Republican Party is a pack of thugs lacking a moral compass or ethics. I spit on every Republican and look forward to the day when their imposed nightmare on America and the rest of the world comes to a burning crash. ENOUGH!
   *  Republicans come down to this: I got mine, too bad if you don't have your's. You should be like me".
*  I wish the Republicans had spent half as much energy coming up with their own health care law. That would have meant working for the people over the insurance industry so they couldn't have that. What a usless group of do nothings!

Supreme Court Trashes Latest Legal Attack On Obamacare
The justices already ruled the law constitutional. They're done for now.
By Cristian Farias, January 19, 2016

The U.S. Supreme Court has snubbed yet another Obamacare case.

The justices on Tuesday declined to take up the latest legal challenge to the Affordable Care Act -- a quirky lawsuit that sought to invalidate the law on the grounds that it violates the Origination Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Under the clause, "all bills for raising revenue" -- read: taxes -- must "originate" in the House of Representatives. But Matt Sissel, the man behind the case, argued that must mean the health care law is unconstitutional because, in his view, the legislation originated in the Senate.

"The reason the Constitution requires all bills for raising revenue to originate in the House is to keep the taxing power -- of which the founders were justly suspicious -- in the hands of the most democratic branch of the federal government," said Sissel's appeal to the Supreme Court.

That argument was a response to the court's decision in NFIB v. Sebelius, which in 2012 upheld the law on the basis that its so-called individual mandate -- the requirement that every American carries health insurance, or else pay a penalty -- constitutes a "tax on going without health insurance."

But Sissel, an artist, challenged that requirement, noting in court papers he'd much rather "devote his resources to building up his art business rather than buying health insurance."

Even though two lower courts rejected his arguments, he nonetheless pressed on with his appeal to the Supreme Court. What may have prompted Sissel to take his case all the way to the top was a lengthy rejection issued by an appeals court last summer -- essentially telling him that his constitutional argument was meritless, but in which four conservative judges said that the case underscored "the importance of this issue to our constitutional structure and to the individual liberty protected by that structure."

But even those judges, in the end, couldn't bring themselves to rule that the challenger had a winning case, and concluded that the Affordable Care Act properly originated in the House of Representatives.

"To read my opinion so far, you might wonder whether I think the world will end not in fire, or in ice, or in a bankruptcy court, but in an Origination Clause violation," wrote U.S. Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh for himself and the three other judges. "This case is not Marbury v. Madison redux. But the case is still quite important."

Apparently not important enough for the Supreme Court to get involved.
