Why Republicans want to repeal the individual mandate now

Season 2017 Episode 1235 | 9m 28s

With growing confidence that they will be able to quickly push through tax reform, Republicans are making an even bigger bet by adding the health care debate to the mix. Lawmakers have woven a repeal of the individual mandate into the Senate tax bill in order to free up billions for tax cuts. Lisa Desjardins and Sarah Kliff of Vox sit join Hari Sreenivasan to discuss the potential ramifications.
