Members of the GOP are asking the Supreme Court to take up another case against ObamaCare, this time challenging a controversial medical board that the party has called “a death panel.”

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Rep. Phil Roe (R-Tenn.) and several other Republicans will file an amicus brief Thursday urging the court to reconsider a case against a piece of the healthcare law called the Independent Payment Advisory Board.

“Because the law frees [the board] of any checks and balances, waiting could be dangerous. The Supreme Court should hold that the time to answer these constitutional questions is now, not later,” Coburn and Roe, who are both doctors, wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed late Wednesday.

They criticized the board, which would be comprised of 16 medical experts picked by the president, for its ability to write rules to cut Medicare spending that become law unless Congress votes to strike them down.Scissors-32x32.png
