Rogers voted for the 2017 House Republican health care bill, a concrete legislative effort tied to lowering premiums, but it did not become law.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 1628 as “Passed House,” with House passage on May 4, 2017, and latest Senate action on September 25, 2017. The tracker does not show enactment into law.

The main 2017 bill Rogers supported advanced through the House but stalled in the Senate, so it was not delivered as enacted premium-lowering legislation.

CBO described a Patient and State Stability Fund “designed to reduce premiums,” but estimated H.R. 1628 would increase nongroup premiums by about 20 percent in 2018 and 5 percent in 2019 before later mixed effects depending on state waivers.

CBO supports that the bill contained premium-reduction mechanisms, but its projected premium effects were mixed and the bill was not enacted.

Roll Call 420 recorded House passage of H.R. 5376 on the motion to concur in the Senate amendment by 220-207. The vote list shows “Rogers (KY) Republican Kentucky KY Nay.”

Congress.gov lists H.R. 5376 as becoming Public Law No. 117-169 on August 16, 2022. Its CRS summary states that Section 12001 extends through 2025 adjustments and expansions of the premium tax credit, including eligibility above 400 percent of the federal poverty line.

The premium-subsidy legislation was enacted, but Rogers opposed final House passage, weighing against fulfillment of a promise to support such legislation.

CMS stated that the Inflation Reduction Act gave middle-income families access to lower premiums after tax credits and gave many modest-income Americans more help paying premiums. CMS also said four out of five HealthCare.gov consumers could find a plan for $10 or less per month.

Federal implementation records indicate that the IRA lowered Marketplace premiums after tax credits; Rogers voted against that law.

Roll Call 708 recorded House passage of H.R. 5378, the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act, by 320-71. The vote list shows “Rogers (KY) Republican Kentucky KY Yea.”

Rogers supported a later health-cost transparency bill, showing concrete legislative effort on health care costs, though not specifically broad family premium subsidies.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 5378 as “Passed House.” The CRS summary says the bill requires health care providers and insurers to disclose health care cost information and includes PBM reporting and Medicaid pass-through pricing provisions.

The bill Rogers supported was a health-cost measure that passed the House but did not become law, so it is effort evidence rather than full delivery.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Rogers made concrete legislative efforts related to health care costs, including voting for H.R. 1628 in 2017 and H.R. 5378 in 2023, but those measures did not become law and the premium effects were either mixed or indirect. The clearest enacted federal legislation lowering family Marketplace premiums was the Inflation Reduction Act's extension of ACA premium tax credit enhancements, and Rogers voted against it. Because he attempted related legislation but did not deliver the promised premium-lowering outcome, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
