The individual mandate issue is not part of the House bill that passed. The Senate is considering including it in their bill.
If the Senate can get their bill passed, there will be a lot of work to do in conference.
Repeal the State deduction is a great idea. Those FReepers who live in the big states of CA, NY, NJ will have to be patient as your state lowers your taxes.
Subsidizing Big State, Big Govt is just a bad idea, even in the big city, that crams ever more people into a tiny place.
Coffin apartments, in high dense, high rise towers is inhumane, but subsidized by high taxes. If 80% of the city has no yard, riots are coming and the rural must support the largess.
Ha! A lot of “work” to do? Not picking on you, but using that word to describe arm-twisting, back slapping, favor-calling and blackmailing while living the high life on the taxpayers’ backs is a stretch if you ask me.
But I know what you mean.
