Senate's GOP Tax Reform Bill Seeks Repeal Of Obamacare Individual Mandate

[edpc]

The proposed Republican tax reform bill will include repeal of Obamacare's individual mandate requiring most Americans to have some form of health insurance or pay a tax penalty, GOP leaders said Tuesday.

The decision means that Republicans, yet again in 2017, will attempt to gut a key element of the Affordable Care Act.

An estimated 13 million fewer people would have insurance if the mandate were to be repealed, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated.

Yes, but what they’re leaving out is it would be voluntary.  The real news would be ‘an estimated 13 million more people would receive immediate pay raise’ after the mandate repeal.

It will be DOA in the Senate!  Guaranteed!
