Final answer:

The provided statement is false; the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 is not related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or its over 100 measures. The ACA was enacted in 2010, involved various funding mechanisms through taxes, and was constitutionally upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2012.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement provided is false. The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 does not correspond to the creation of a reporting measure with over 100 current measures. Instead, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), signed into law by President Obama in March 2010, included the funding mechanisms and employer mandates described in your question. The ACA aimed at extending healthcare coverage and included various taxes to fund the healthcare reforms.

  • Increasing the Medicare tax and adding a tax on unearned income for high-income taxpayers.
  • Charging annual fees on health insurance providers.
  • Imposing a tax on manufacturers and importers of certain medical devices.

Furthermore, the ACA has been the subject of political contention and legal challenges, particularly concerning the individual mandate provision. However, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the mandate as a constitutional exercise of the federal government's right to tax in a landmark decision in June 2012.
