Charlie Dent: Including ObamaCare Mandate Repeal Will Make Tax Reform ‘Much More Difficult’

‘I very much am concerned and opposed to the idea of including repeal of the individual mandate in the tax reform bill’

RUSH EXCERPT:
DENT: "Well, I’ve made it clear I very much am concerned and opposed to the idea of including repeal of the individual mandate in the tax reform bill. I believe we’re conflating two issues. Will make tax reform, enactment much more difficult, if we include that health care provision. So I’m not — I want to look at the bill in total, but I’ve been clear with my leadership that’s a problem. Some of us voted against the house health care legislation and voted for the house tax reform bill and they could,leadership could lose votes from members who voted for the house tax reform bill if this provision is included in the final package."
