Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) is continuing his fight to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), with the introduction of HR 114, which would “completely–and responsibly–repeal Obamacare.”

Biggs has been fighting for years to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, calling it “a disaster that never worked and only led to increased premiums across the country.”

One of the key issues underlying Biggs’ call for complete repeal of the ACA is that it has caused healthcare costs to skyrocket and is only affordable when it is heavily subsidized by the taxpayers.

In a post on Facebook earlier this week, Biggs noted that “Every single Republican campaigned on repealing Obamacare,” and added, “The GOP has no excuse to cave on this issue.”

Biggs had introduced HR 114 in January 2025, having previously introduced a similar repeal bill in the 118th Congress.

If his bill were to become law and the ACA were fully repealed, employers and their benefits advisors could see a return of medical underwriting in the fully insured small-group market.

Passage of HR 114 could also bring about the elimination of the federal rule banning annual or lifetime limits on coverage for essential health benefits and the federal rule requiring plans to keep children on their parents’ coverage up until age 26.

Biggs’ bill faces review by eight different committees, including the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the House Ways and Means Committee, the House Education and the Workforce Committee, the House Natural Resources Committee, the House Judiciary Committee, the House Administration Committee, the House Appropriations Committee and the House Rules Committee.

Critics of the ACA have long complained that Obamacare has not made their healthcare more affordable but instead has caused massive increases in premiums with those escalating costs being picked up by the taxpayers.

Republicans have taken considerable heat over the past 15 years for their failure to repeal Obamacare, even when having majorities in the House and Senate.
