Vote 179 considered McConnell Amendment No. 667 to H.R. 1628, the American Health Care Act of 2017. The amendment was rejected, 49 yeas to 51 nays; Scott (R-SC) voted Yea.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Scott took a concrete later-term vote for a major ACA repeal vehicle, but the amendment failed in the Senate, so the repeal-and-replace commitment was not delivered through this effort.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. later_term A for effort

The promised outcome was repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act with lower-cost, expanded-access policies. The ACA remained in force as of September 2026, so the substantive outcome was not delivered. Scott did take a concrete later-term Senate vote in 2017 for a major ACA repeal vehicle, but that effort failed 49-51 and did not enact repeal-and-replace legislation. Because he made a serious legislative attempt but the promised policy result was not achieved, this is never with an effort badge.
