Obamacare must be repealed.
Occurrences
Evidence
The campaign issues page says, 'OBAMACARE MUST BE REPEALED' and 'Obamacare must be repealed. Period.'
Higgins' official office announced a 'replacement law' for Obamacare and invited the public to review the first draft.
Congress.gov shows H.R. 1628 passed the House by recorded vote 217-213 on Roll No. 256, but the bill's latest action remained in the Senate and it was not enacted.
Higgins wrote that he 'supported the effort to repeal and replace Obamacare in 2017' and that 'that effort fell short in the Senate.'
HealthCare.gov says the Affordable Care Act was enacted on March 23, 2010 and provides the full law text.
Assessments
Higgins promised that Obamacare must be repealed. The evidence shows he supported and participated in serious repeal-and-replace efforts during his term, including the 2017 House-passed American Health Care Act and related replacement proposals. However, the repeal effort failed in the Senate and the Affordable Care Act remained in force, so the promised outcome was not delivered.
