The Federal Tax Code Individual Mandate, Health Care, and Latinos
The “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” the latest tax bill from Congressional Republicans, would result in a massive tax cut for the richest Americans and big corporations, while providing little, if any, tax relief to working- and middle-class families. Not only does the Republican tax proposal benefit the wealthy and large corporations at the expense of the working and middle-class, it would undermine the ability of many Americans, including Latinos, to access quality, affordable health coverage. This plan would eliminate the individual mandate, included in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), that helps ensure every American has access to health coverage.
