Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said Tuesday that she supports repealing ObamaCare's individual mandate, in what appeared to be a significant boost to the GOP tax bill that includes mandate repeal.
Murkowski, a key moderate swing vote, wrote in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner that she supports giving people additional freedom by repealing the mandate, which requires people to have insurance or pay a fine.
"Repealing the individual mandate simply restores to people the freedom to choose," Murkowski wrote. "Nothing else about the structure of the ACA would be changed."
She contrasted the provision with GOP ObamaCare repeal bills earlier this year, which she said went too far by restructuring Medicaid and making other changes.

She has no fucking principles...................none, then she does and says this BS..........
"She said she worried that insurance is not affordable for some people and they are being fined for going without coverage by the mandate."
So if you gut the mandate there Murksowski, what do you think the premiums are going to do, go fucking down-----your a malignant narcissistic sociopath just like the orange hair buffoon in the WH, your just as dangerous has he is---------------look in the mirror there Murkowski, take a hard look at being a "death panel, for greed------FU
You fucking tax cut does not give enough money back to pay for the premiums if you make less than $75,000, your math does not work, and your CBO score said that 13 million human beings are going to be affected

(28,136 posts)...keep the pre-existing condition mandate on insurance companies?
How does that work without a dramatic rise in premiums for all?

(33,345 posts)Make coverage through the ACA so astronomically expensive that people have to abandon it.
Then you can point at the ACA and say it was fatally flawed from the beginning and needs to be put out of its misery, when in truth, you kneecapped it until it couldn't even crawl.
The Republican Way.
