Assessments
Comer publicly called for repealing the Affordable Care Act and voted for the 2017 American Health Care Act, a serious House effort to repeal and replace Obamacare during his federal term. However, the ACA was not repealed: the House bill did not become law after Senate failure, and no later repeal of the ACA was delivered. Because he made a serious legislative attempt but the promised repeal outcome failed, this should be marked never with an effort badge.
Comer publicly supported repealing the Affordable Care Act and voted for the 2017 American Health Care Act, a serious legislative attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare. However, Congress did not ultimately repeal the ACA, so the promised outcome was not delivered despite documented effort.
