(Bloomberg) -- The Senate tax-writing committee continued hammering out the details of its tax cut proposal Tuesday, while the House may vote on its bill as soon as Thursday.

Senator John Thune, the chamber’s No. 3 Republican, said the repeal of the individual mandate required by Obamacare will be included in the revised version of the Senate GOP tax plan.

House Majority Whip John Cornyn is confident the chamber will get the 50 votes it needs to pass a bill, according to Thune. “We wouldn’t have proceeded if Cornyn wasn’t confident he could get to 50,” Thune said.
