Assessments
Babin actively supported repeal-and-replace legislation, including voting for the House-passed American Health Care Act in 2017, which counts as a serious legislative effort. But the Affordable Care Act was still in force as of the evidence date, so the promised repeal-and-replace outcome was not actually delivered.
The promised outcome was to continue fighting for legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare with policies restoring health care freedom. The ACA remains in force, so the repeal-and-replace outcome was not delivered. Babin did make a serious legislative effort in the same term by voting for H.R. 1628, the American Health Care Act, which passed the House on May 4, 2017 but was not enacted. Under the instruction, a serious attempt that failed to deliver the promised outcome is rated never with effort_badge=true.
