Individual Mandate Repeal. During consideration of a bill regarding Medicare payments to physicians (H.R. 2), Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) introduced an amendment entitled “Restoring Individual Liberty” that would repeal the individual mandate of the ObamaCare law.
The Senate rejected Cornyn’s amendment on April 14, 2015 by a vote of 54 to 45 (Roll Call 137). We have assigned pluses to the yeas because no branch of government has been empowered by the Constitution to force Americans to buy health insurance.
