The Hill: Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) is not ruling out a push by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) to repeal ObamaCare's individual mandate in tax reform legislation.
Asked if he is open to repealing the mandate as part of a tax reform bill, Hatch said Monday: "Sure, I didn't think it should be there to begin with.”
Some Republicans worry adding ObamaCare measures to tax reform would jeopardize the tax reform package.
And Hatch sounded a note of caution, adding, "But the Dems aren't going to be for that, so it's going to be very difficult to get rid of it."
