"I am committed to lowering healthcare costs and increasing access to patient care. Rest assured I will continue to support legislation that defunds, repeals and ultimately replaces our current healthcare system with free market solutions creating affordable healthcare for all citizens."

U.S. Representative Chuck Fleischmann on Tuesday discussed the Department of War’s budget during a House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee hearing and highlighted his work on the House Energy and Water Appropriations Committee.
Assessments
As a U.S. representative, Fleischmann can get full credit only for an enacted or materially advanced federal health-care outcome attributable to his work. The record here shows continued advocacy and legislative effort, not delivery: his official health-care page describes an ongoing commitment to support repeal/replace legislation, and the broader congressional record shows he backed major House ACA repeal/replace efforts, including early repeal votes and the 2017 House-passed AHCA. But those efforts did not produce an enacted new federal health-care system that can be credited to him as having lowered costs and put patients first. Because there is evidence of serious effort but not of a delivered outcome, this is best scored as never with effort credit.
The available evidence shows Fleischmann continuing to state support for lowering health care costs and patient-centered care, but it does not identify a completed federal policy outcome attributable to him that delivered a lower-cost, patient-first health care system. Recent official activity is unrelated to health care delivery, and the issue-page language is an ongoing commitment rather than proof of fulfillment. On this record, the promise remains unresolved rather than delivered.
