The filibuster-proof reconciliation bill would repeal the ACA’s individual and employer mandates as well as the so-called “Cadillac tax” and the medical device tax.
“We have a responsibility to use every tool we have to dismantle this flawed healthcare scheme, and the bill before us today will do just that,” said Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.), who leads on of the committees charged with drafting the bill, according to the report.
Although the bill has garnered support in the House, its fate is in question in the Senate with three Senate conservatives vowing to oppose it and three other Republican senators voicing concerns about defunding Planned Parenthood.
