"His most notable votes to end the ACA in 2017 included:

July 25, 2017: Voted YES on the motion to proceed to begin debate on a sweeping ACA repeal bill.

July 25, 2017: Voted YES on a comprehensive measure drafted by his office to end the Medicaid expansion, cut subsidies, and eliminate tax penalties.

July 26, 2017: Voted YES on an amendment to repeal major parts of the ACA without a replacement.
