No. All he's saying is the individual mandate "tax" should be eliminated with the tax reform package. It makes sense since it's supposedly a "tax" that it should be eliminated in a tax bill.

I'm not sure at all that the Senate won't screw up the Tax Reform bill, but I don't think it will be because of ending the individual mandate "tax". I think if the bill fails it will be because a bunch of Pub Senators just don't like Pres. Trump and they think their feelings are more important than doing right by the American taxpayer.
