Senate Republicans have approved the repeal of ObamaCare’s individual mandate as part of their tax-cut bill, a major step forward toward ending an unpopular part of the healthcare law.
“Families ought to be able to make decisions about what they want to buy and what works for them –not the government,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said, hailing the accomplishment.
“I believe if people don’t want to buy the Obamacare insurance, they shouldn’t have to pay a tax penalty to the IRS.”
The Senate tax bill must still be reconciled with House legislation that does not include the mandate’s repeal. But that is unlikely to be a major issue given support in the GOP conference for repealing the mandate.

The world changed yesterday.
Obamacare mandate repeal - which basically repeals obamacare

Promises made...promise kept.
o’bammy-care WAS NOT a “healthcare law,” it was a TAX to pay for uninsured AIDS infected homosexual’s treatment.
Is the 3.8% Medicare tax still on investment income (incl. house sales) over $200k/$250k?
Including us Conservatives who live in those blue states. But that's ok, right?

The state I live in sends forty BILLION more to the FedGov every year than it gets back. That means the state I live in is subsidizing YOU. Now if you paid YOUR "fair share" (using your logic) my state would get that forty billion a year back now wouldn't it?
I don’t want to see any states “crushed”. Although the blue states do an excellent job of crushing themselves.
States Least Dependent on Federal Government
The state I live in is #47. If you live in states 1-46, you're taking MY STATE's tax dollars. I live in a High GDP, Low Federal Government Spending state. That means I'm being taxed FOR YOU.
Your apology is expected.
Well if it makes you feel better, it crushes career people whose children are grown. When those folks kids grow up, they will hate this theft too.
Can we assume that the estate tax is at least reduced? How about the tax on capital gains? I don’t see anything being written about these tax issues.
You live in FloriDUH!! Your state is #25. That means the state I live in is paying for your state’s mooching at the federal trough! You tax pig!
wallethub? seriously?
Which perfectly describes where I'm at in my life. Trying to save for one's retirement with this theft by the FedGov is really pissing me off.
Especially when ignorant people say those of us who live in blue states are "getting what we deserve" when we're the ones paying more in taxes to the FedGov that most others. I've proved that dozens of times here on FR and again posted undisputed proof here on this thread yet again.
That’s your best response? Go away child until you can accept facts. FloriDUH.
WalletHub uses federal data and produces nice pretty charts and graphs so simpletons like you in FloriDUH can understand......... tried keeping it simple for you.
