“Does this bill end the mandate to buy?”
The Parliamentarian will allow this via setting the fine to $0, which is what the bill does.
No offense, I don’t give a rat’s hairy hind about the fine being lowered to zero. All that means is that the mandate is STILL in place, as well as the capability to fine, which can be raised at a later date.
They need to REPEAL the damn mandate.
BTW, fervent apologies. I didn’t mean to shoot the messenger. Thanks for your reply!
