House tax chief says Obamacare taxes not part of tax reform

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will not seek to repeal Obamacare taxes as a part of expected tax reform legislation, the top House Republican on tax policy said on Monday.

"We never envisioned bringing Obamacare taxes into that (reform) effort and I still don't," House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady told reporters.
