Rand Paul scores another win for the people
 

He might just derail the tax plan with this.

Democrats are going to vote no anyway. I'm sure McCain got some "concession" and the other two usual holdouts they can do without with Pence.

They never were going to have Democrat votes no matter what plan they put forth, however, they can only handle a few defections and Collins has already said this complicates things.

Removing this will likely cause premiums to rise even higher. There may be some Republicans out there who might be wary of voting for this especially considering the current version of plan raises taxes on some middle-class people. If a couple of Senators look at their state and see this causing them problems they might opt to vote against it.

Some version of this will likely pass, but Paul may have just thrown a wrench into the system and made it harder than it needs to be.

Time to open a funeral home .... or a cemetary .

great future !

Nobody is getting insurance in order to avoid a $700 penalty except those who are already getting insurance for free. If you don't get it free or subsidized $700 a year is much cheaper than $600 a month per person. Obamacare is done. It caused insurance to skyrocket itself. The insurance companies need to be like every other business and try and compete for business, not rely on a mandate. If it was law that everybody had to buy porn would you decrease prices or increase?
