Instead, Republicans are working to increase choice, lower costs, and improve care. I supported the effort to repeal and replace Obamacare in 2017. Though that effort fell short in the Senate, we’re working to enact many of the underlying policy solutions through both legislative and executive action. We want to restore free-market principles, give Americans greater control over their own health care decisions, and lower the cost of care.

Higgins said Republicans were working through legislative and executive action to increase choice, lower costs, improve care, restore free-market principles, and give Americans greater control over health care decisions.

Higgins’s official Health Care page repeats the commitment to expanding access to affordable, patient-centered coverage and says he will support legislation encouraging marketplace competition. The same page’s healthcare archive surfaces only older items from 2022 and 2021, with no healthcare-specific 2026 action shown in the lookback window.

Official site still carries the promise, but no recent healthcare deliverable or vote is surfaced on the page during the lookback window.

This official House issue page establishes the promise and frames it as broad national access to affordable, patient-centered coverage with consumer choice.

Higgins announced the Medical Care Equity Act to allow doctors to deduct unreimbursed Medicare-based value of charity medical care.

The bill was a concrete same-term effort related to expanding access to care for vulnerable patients, but it was narrower than affordable coverage for all Americans and there is no evidence here that it became law.

Congress.gov lists H.R.6703 as Passed House, with latest action: received in the Senate on December 18, 2025.

H.R.6703 advanced in the House but had not become law as of the cited status, so it supports partial progress rather than delivery.

The Clerk records H.R.6703 passed 216-211; Higgins (LA), Republican, voted Yea.

Higgins personally voted for a bill titled and framed around lower health care premiums. Because the bill passed only the House and was pending in the Senate, it shows effort and partial progress, not full fulfillment.

The engrossed bill states its purpose is to ensure access to affordable health insurance and includes association health plan and cost-sharing reduction provisions.

The text aligns with the promise's access and affordability themes, but the bill text itself also shows it was an engrossed House bill rather than an enacted law.

The Clerk records H.R.1628 passed 217-213; Higgins (LA), Republican, voted Aye.

Higgins backed the House Republican ACA replacement bill in his first term. The vote was concrete action, but whether it advanced affordable access depends on the bill's projected effects.

CBO and JCT estimated H.R.1628 would increase the number of uninsured by 23 million in 2026 relative to current law.

The official CBO analysis undercuts treating Higgins's AHCA vote as delivery of expanded affordable coverage, because the House-passed bill was projected to reduce insurance coverage substantially.

Congress.gov lists H.R.5378 as Passed House and summarizes disclosure requirements for health care costs, PBMs, Medicare, Medicaid, and public health programs.

This bill related to health care costs and transparency passed the House but did not become law during the 118th Congress. It is relevant context on cost-reduction legislation, not proof of delivered coverage expansion.

The Clerk records H.R.5378 passed 320-71; Higgins (LA), Republican, voted Nay.

Higgins opposed a House-passed health cost transparency bill. This does not by itself decide the broader promise, but it weakens evidence that he consistently advanced affordable coverage measures.
