Only, thing I have read about it was that it was passed through budget reconciliation, meaning it only need 51 votes and the Republicans could not continue to filibuster the passage. You know the same tactics Republicans used to pass the Bush Tax Cuts back in 2001.
I was speaking in reverse, it passed in the Senate, not the House. The House passed it through the budget reconciliation, though the House is based on population meaning if indeed it was 51 votes that is less then an eighth of the House voting for it! Either way a bill cannot be passed in the Senate first than the House and become law, thus the lawsuits.
