Now Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said he sees a couple of ways to potentially repeal ACA taxes — through a revamp of the U.S. tax code or through a new ACA replacement bill, reports Reuters.
“Either, as far as I’m concerned,” Sen. Hatch said, according to Reuters. “Any way we can get rid of those, I think it’d be a good thing.”
However, the idea of repealing ACA taxes through tax reform would likely evoke pushback from Democrats. According to the report, members of the party claim ACA taxes assist many Americans in purchasing insurance coverage.
