I will continue to advocate for repealing this board made of Washington bureaucrats who are not elected to the position on the panel.
Continue advocating for repealing the Independent Payment Advisory Board in the healthcare law.
Occurrences
Evidence
Rogers wrote that he was "fighting to repeal" IPAB and said, "I will continue to advocate for repealing this board."
Assessments
The promise was to continue advocating for repeal of the Independent Payment Advisory Board, not necessarily to single-handedly enact repeal. Rogers made the commitment during the 2012 federal House campaign context and remained in Congress afterward. The IPAB repeal was ultimately enacted in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, after the 2013-2015 term tied to the 2012 election. The supplied evidence shows Rogers publicly advocating repeal in 2012, which satisfies the advocacy component, and the eventual federal repeal means the promised policy direction was delivered later while he was still in office. Because the evidence here establishes advocacy but not that Rogers personally authored or sponsored the enacted repeal vehicle, effort credit is appropriate.
