Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday she supports the repeal of Obamacare's individual mandate.The Obamacare individual mandate requires nearly all Americans to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty. Republican Senators have considered adding a repeal to this mandate in their tax reform bill.
"Repealing the individual mandate simply restores to people the freedom to choose. Nothing else about the structure of the ACA would be changed," Murkowski said in an op-ed to the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (http://www.newsminer.com/opinion/community_perspectives/alaskan-senator-supports-free-choice-for-health-care/article_fb6235da-ce98-11e7-951c-db26231e7ffb.html). "The only difference would be is (sic) if you choose to not buy health insurance, the government would not levy a tax on you."
