    The Obamacare individual mandate tax should be repealed because it hurts people who can’t afford it. Repealing it through #TaxReform would not take away the subsidies for people, just the mandate tax. #MorningJoepic.twitter.com/GHhruzHWpM

        No it doesn’t because they receive subsidies to help pay for it! Removing the Mandate WILL RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT RISE IN PREMIUMS! And that WILL HURT AMERICANS A LOT MORE! But you & your GOP colleagues don’t care about that!

        Senator, how are you backing this mock concern for citizens in your state with votes refusing to increase taxes to gas and oil at a measly 3-4% to the cost of cuts to Medicaid, schools, child abuse prevention, all across the board for needy?

        I think your votes show it’s not concern for poor citizens, but it’s more about giving wealthy and Big Oil/Gas super PACs huge tax breaks on our backs. The total cut to child abuse prevention is absolutely disgusting. Okla legislatures are only for rich.

        No! It’s another way to breakdown the ACA (Not Obamacare - calling it Obamacare is another way to be disrespectful), the tax reform is bad for all lower and working class!

        And what will happen to premiums when care standards are guaranteed even for the sickest among us (which I’m in favor of) but healthy people are not required to participate??? This is not a difficult concept Senator

        Your statement is misleading and dishonest. By not requiring all to buy insurance (young & healthy) you only make insurance more costly for the rest. And, subsidies are there for those who "can't afford it." Your repeal will destroy ACA.

        Why are you and other Republicans so bent on destroying healthcare that works? Focus on improving the ACA. Expand coverage & lower cost.

        Obama caused havoc on those that had insurance. Taxing the poor who cant afford ACA uncool.

        Republican controlled states had the option to greatly expand Medical when ACA was rolled out. All chose not do so to the detriment of the "poor." You can thank the Republicans for that, not Obama.
