The White House wouldnt oppose removing from the Senate tax plan a controversial provision to repeal the individual health-care mandate of the Affordable Care Act, budget director Mick Mulvaney said, a move that could help secure the vote of key Republicans.
The bill introduced by Tennessee Republican Lamar Alexander and Washington Democrat Patty Murray has all 48 Senate Democrats backing it along with 12 Republicans, Schumer said on NBCs Meet the Press on Sunday.
The long-awaited Trump tax plan released today will immediately set off a fight over how much top earners should pay in taxes, while other items in it prompted GOP senators to say they won't rubber-stamp it.
Health insurers won a victory in 2015 when a tax that was part of the Affordable Care Act was suspended. Now as they fight to repeal or delay the tax again before it comes back into effect, the odds dont seem to be in their favor.
Senate Republicans are expressing a willingness to consider a bipartisan approach to strengthening the individual insurance market under Obamacare, even as President Donald Trump is deciding whether to end payments for it.
House Speaker Paul Ryan says he plans to bring a health care bill to a floor vote late this week, all while he seeks to increase tax credits to help older Americans buy insurance.
Fifty-one percent of U.S. adults say that while the Affordable Care Act may still require small changes, we should see how it works.
