Why Blocked by others: A repeated campaign-website commitment (Ballotpedia quotation of his 2016 issues page). The ACA remains law. Consistent with the Cruz pilot, this is rated blocked by others: repeal never commanded a signed enactment, not because Babin flipped. (batch1-research-2026-11-10, 2026-11-10 14:12:39 UTC)
