Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said she would support repealing the Affordable Care Act’s individual insurance mandate, giving a potential boost to the Republican effort to pass a massive tax cut package next week.

“I believe that the federal government should not force anyone to buy something they do not wish to buy, in order to avoid being taxed,” Murkowski wrote in an opinion piece published Tuesday by the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.

Murkowski was careful, however, to stop short of saying she would vote for the Senate GOP tax plan. She instead focused the entire op-ed on her views about the Affordable Care Act

All these damn women politicians use their feelings to justify anything they do. How about you just follow the constitution and respect the small role the federal government is supposed to have? The answer is that doesn’t satisfy their feelings to help ppl.....with tax dollars of course.

“The answer is that doesn’t satisfy their feelings to help ppl.....with tax dollars of course.”

A friendly correction: with YOUR tax dollars.

Look out...in all likelihood after the dust settles all we’re going to have is women politicians.

Is she also maybe playing a game in which mccain and collins are involved, namely, she’ll play the conservative while they do the usual defection to the democrat side and oppose the bill? Next time around, it’ll be collins in the barrel, then mccain?

$he'$ ready to chew bubble gum and kick $ome a$$!

...WITH the right amount of kickbacks and hand-greasing, that is.

Something tells me one day Trump, after seeing first-hand who/what these political cretins REALLY are, is gonna go ape-sh t on them during his next State of the Union.

...and it'll be a beautiful thing to witness...if he does.

I’m all for repealing the Obamacare individual mandate. Frankly, I don’t care what Murkowski’s reason for her position is, I’m just glad she’s for repealing it.

In return for her vote, Murkowski got ANWR to be opened up for oil leases. Trump is going to do it anyway. Might as well get something for your vote.
