Issues: Taxes
Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-NY17/Rockland-Westchester), Ranking Member on the House Appropriations Committee, issued the following statement following reports that Senate Republicans will include in their tax reform bill the repeal of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate:
"Don't be fooled. Repeal of the individual mandate in the Senate tax plan is a one-two punch to the middle class. Not only would millions of Americans be priced out of health coverage, the Republican tax scam will hike taxes for 38 million middle-class Americans."
