        Explain how tax bill takes away health care. It doesn't. It only removes the mandate and allows individuals to opt in or out without $$ penalty.

        Which will destroy the individual market by taking money out of the pool. Not that hard of a concept to understand.

        So you mandate the government forcing purchase under penalty of law a product not wanted at mandatory levels not needed/wanted under $$ penalty? The people who don't CHOOSE to purchase the product are the problem? Not the product??? Given choice public opts out.

        Yes, the government has the ability and responsibility to levy taxes (in this case, a penalty) to pay for services and infrastructure. Those without insurance still impact others by obtaining services without the ability to ever pay it.

        @JeffFlake Actions speak louder than words! Nice speech but you voted with @realDonaldTrump to take away healthcare from millions.

        Uncool to use your illness to spread propaganda. Instead of being known as a man, you'll be known as a "man" with ALS. #LouGehrigIsSad

        Why tax reform has nothing to do with his healthcare. Just repealing illegal mandate on Obamacare, has nothing to do with healthcare!
