Grothman said he voted to repeal and replace Obamacare with the American Health Care Act and stated that the bill still covered pre-existing conditions.

He took concrete legislative action in favor of repeal-and-replace during his first term, and framed the bill as preserving pre-existing condition coverage.

The House passed H.R. 1628, the American Health Care Act, by recorded vote 217-213 on May 4, 2017.

The repeal-and-replace bill advanced through the House, showing concrete effort, but this vote alone did not enact a replacement law.

Congress.gov shows H.R. 1628 had the status 'Passed House' and lists the latest action in the Senate as hearings held on September 25, 2017, indicating it never became law.

The main repeal-and-replace vehicle advanced in the House but stalled in the Senate and was not enacted, so the promise was not fulfilled.

HHS describes the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as the comprehensive health care reform law enacted in March 2010 and links to certified full-text versions of the ACA and reconciliation act.

The federal government still presents the ACA as current law, which undercuts any finding that Obamacare has been repealed and replaced.

HealthCare.gov says all Marketplace plans must cover treatment for pre-existing medical conditions and that no insurance plan can reject someone, charge more, or refuse essential health benefits because of a pre-existing condition.

Pre-existing-condition protections remain in place through ACA Marketplace rules, not through a Grothman-supported enacted repeal-and-replace system.

Congress.gov identifies H.R. 1628 as the American Health Care Act of 2017, shows the bill status as Passed House, and lists the latest action as Senate Finance Committee hearings held on September 25, 2017.

The principal repeal-and-replace vehicle advanced in the House but stalled in the Senate and did not become enacted law, so the promised outcome was not delivered.

Grothman's official issue page says he supports repealing and replacing Obamacare with a more free-market system while keeping protections for individuals with pre-existing conditions.

The page confirms the commitment and shows it remained framed as a policy position rather than a completed repeal-and-replace achievement.

Assessments

Grothman materially supported the promised repeal-and-replace outcome by voting for the American Health Care Act in 2017 and arguing it preserved protections for people with pre-existing conditions. However, H.R. 1628 only passed the House, stalled in the Senate, and did not become law. The ACA remains in force, and pre-existing-condition protections continue through the ACA rather than through an enacted Grothman-supported replacement system. This is a serious legislative attempt but not fulfillment of the promised outcome.

Grothman supported and voted for the American Health Care Act in 2017, which was a serious legislative attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare while he argued it preserved protections for people with pre-existing conditions. However, the bill passed only the House, stalled in the Senate, and did not become law. Because the promised repeal-and-replace outcome was not enacted, the promise was not fulfilled despite concrete effort.
