Republicans Are Still Coming After Obamacare’s Individual Mandate

GOP Senate , you think they get that bill through ? Pence was in Indiana last week working on the Dem Senator whose re election chances are not high .

Funny how at the start of this thread it was the House that was going to save us...

The senate seems the most unlikely place to ever get anything through. The house has no excuse .

Won't be too surprised if I'm wrong on this, but I have a feeling mandate repeal will get done one way or the other.. through Congressional bill or executive order.

I hope you are right - it is what is needed and through Senate now at this point seems best way.

A projection of 4 million that would go without coverage if not mandated seems lower than I'd guess, though.

Good cop, bad cop?

Making Unaffordable insurance mandatory takes away the freedom of choice for one's individual health . . .
the mandate has to go, and should have never been claimed as constitutional in the first place imo.

Senators Ron Johnson, Flake, Collins, Corker apparently among the GOP on fence for a potential Senate tax code bill removing the mandate,
but even some Dems that are not socialists should seem to favor a "choice" at least.
