Three months into the new House GOP majority, there has been scant movement toward undoing the Inflation Reduction Act, which contains some of the most significant climate change and health-care measures to pass Congress in recent memory.
When Republicans took the House majority in 2011, it took them barely a month to hold the first of what would be several dozen symbolic votes repealing the Affordable Care Act. Six years later, Republicans went all-in on repealing the Obama administration’s landmark health-care law immediately after taking full power in Washington.
“I totally believe, like, that piece of legislation would be undone,” said Rep. Byron Donalds , a cosponsor of the repeal bill, adding that the IRA’s passage through the party-line budget reconciliation process would allow the GOP to do the same in repealing it. House Republican leadership has already signaled a piecemeal approach. The GOP’s omnibus energy package, which passed on Thursday, takes aim at several climate-focused aspects of the IRA, but not the largest ones, like the subsidy program for electric vehicles.
The insulin cap, along with provisions allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices, have helped to make the IRA far more popular than Obamacare was in its early days. Even Republican lawmakers welcome those provisions, along with several other tax reforms. With those factors at play, it’s perhaps unsurprising that apathy appears to be the GOP’s prevailing attitude when it comes to repealing Biden’s signature legislative achievement.
Rep. Mike Johnson , a member of House GOP leadership, said “I assume” Republicans would move to repeal, but indicated it was still early.
