Subject: Protecting Residents from DC's Replacement of the Obamacare Individual Mandate

Description: Motion to table (kill) the Cruz (R-TX) amendment to a multi-agency appropriations bill which prohibits any money appropriated to the District of Columbia from funding the District's health care insurance individual mandate. The amendment is in response to actions taken by the District to establish its own individual mandate after the Obamacare financial penalty for lacking insurance was zeroed out under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. ACU has long opposed Obamacare and its costly provisions, such as the individual mandate.

Result: Motion to Table Agreed to, 54-44
