Tim Walz Endorses Reinstating Individual Mandate Tax

Walz's support for the tax contradicts Kamala Harris's pledge not to raise taxes on those earning under $400,000.

During the vice presidential debate, Tim Walz advocated for reinstating the Obamacare individual mandate tax.
The individual mandate tax, repealed in 2017, imposed penalties ranging from $695 to $2,085 for not having health insurance.
In 2017, 74% of households affected by the tax earned less than $50,000 annually.
153,140 Pennsylvania households faced the tax before its repeal, along with millions of others nationwide.
Critics argue that reinstating the tax would burden middle-class Americans, violating Harris's tax pledge.
