Murkowski Tax Vote Contingent on Health Vote First

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) “said that her vote on the current version of the tax overhaul is contingent on passing a separate bill to stabilize the individual health insurance market,” Roll Call reports.

“The tax legislation now includes a section to repeal the individual mandate — a provision that opens up over $300 billion in revenue — but could also threaten the viability of the overall health law.”
