Charlie Dent: If Individual Mandate Repeal Is Included in the Tax Bill It Could Endanger Some Votes

DENT: “Yes, Andrea, it is. I believe that placing the repeal of the individual mandate in the Senate bill will make tax reform much more difficult, certainly in the House, and I suspect in the Senate. I don’t think we should be mixing the two issues. I felt strongly about that. There are some of us who voted for the House tax reform proposal but opposed the House health care proposal. And I think that this could endanger some votes if the individual mandate repeal is included in the bill.”
