Congressman calls for delay of health insurance tax

Published Updated 3 Min Read

With the Affordable Care Act still in its infancy, now is not the time to be taxing people who don’t have health insurance, said Rep. Ami Bera (D-California). Bera, who was a doctor for 20 years, suggested delaying the health insurance tax for two years. Bera, who in 2013 co-sponsored a bill aimed at delaying the tax, plans to champion similar legislation this year.
