> On November 2, 2017, a bill later known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was introduced by Representative Kevin Brady of Texas. Included in the bill was the move to change the tax penalty for not having health insurance mandated by the Affordable Care Act to zero.[62][63] Economists said this would lower interest in obtaining health insurance coverage.[64] The bill was signed into law on December 22, 2017 by Donald Trump,[65] with the loss of individual mandate taxation being set to take effect January 1, 2019.[62]
