The Affordable Care Act 's individual insurance mandate is being repealed as part of the Republican tax - reform bill in the senate . There are fears , however , that passing the bill will hit the individual insurance market as it will deter millions from buying health insurance coverage . On the other hand , failure to do so will hit the tax - cut effort , which in turn could dent the stock market and leave firms with larger tax bills .
