I have supported repeated efforts to repeal the law, and will continue working with my colleagues to repeal it and replace it with real market based reforms that will improve care and bring down cost.

Pledges to keep pushing for repeal of the Affordable Care Act and to replace it with market-based reforms.

Evidence

Washington, May 4, 2026 ... Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson cosponsored H.R. 8414 ... Congressman Simpson has long supported the DAIRY PRIDE Act and efforts to prevent milk alternatives or plant-based products from being marketed or misbranded using terms commonly associated with dairy products.

Recent official activity shows Simpson is still cosponsoring targeted market-and-labeling legislation, but this does not demonstrate repeal of the Affordable Care Act or enactment of a replacement plan.

Washington, December 17, 2025 ... Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson voted in favor of H.R. 6703 - the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act. This legislation offers common-sense, market-based reforms to lower health care premium costs, expand access to quality care, provide every American with more options and flexibility to choose coverage that works for them, and bring greater transparency to America’s health care system ... 'throwing more money at it through the Unaffordable Care Act has destroyed our nation’s health care system.'

Simpson remained active on health-care reform and publicly criticized the ACA while backing a market-based premium-lowering bill, but this is not evidence that the ACA was repealed or fully replaced.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The Affordable Care Act has not been repealed and replaced with a market-based alternative. Simpson has supported ACA repeal/reform efforts and backed health-care legislation framed as market-based cost reduction, including H.R. 6703, but the promised core outcome of repeal-and-replace was not delivered. Because he made serious legislative efforts toward the promise but the substantive promised result failed, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
