Sen. Susan Collins: The mandate repeal will increase premiums for people without health care subsidies on exchanges, which “would wipe out the tax cut that they would get under the bill…It is a political mistake as well because it complicates tax reform, and it means that no Democrat’s going to vote for the bill – or it makes it much less likely.”

Sen. Lisa Murkowski: “Tax reform is complicated, health care is complicated, when you mix the two together, it makes it even more complicated.”
