Assessments
Hill explicitly promised to repeal Obamacare, and during the relevant 2017-2019 House term he materially pursued that goal by voting for the House-passed American Health Care Act in May 2017. But the repeal effort did not become law after the Senate failed to advance final repeal legislation in July 2017, so Obamacare was not repealed. Under the stated rule, a serious legislative attempt that fails to achieve the promised outcome is scored as never, with effort credit.
Hill materially worked toward repeal during the relevant 2017-2019 House term by voting for H.R. 1628, the American Health Care Act, which passed the House in 2017 and was a major Republican Affordable Care Act repeal effort. However, the repeal effort failed in the Senate and full Obamacare repeal was not enacted. Because the promised outcome was repeal, not merely support for repeal legislation, this counts as a serious unsuccessful attempt rather than delivery.
