Buchanan said he is 'working to move our system from volume to value' and, 'with my Senate colleagues,' wants to get his bipartisan health care reforms 'across the finish line' so patients can receive care at home and employers can have greater flexibility to cover preventive services.

This is the underlying promise statement. It explicitly ties the goal to Senate cooperation, care at home, and employer flexibility for preventive services.

Congress.gov shows Buchanan introduced H.R. 919 to codify IRS preventive-care guidance for high-deductible health plans, and the bill status remained 'Passed House' with referral to the Senate Finance Committee.

Buchanan said the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 enacted two of his health care bills, including the Permanent Telehealth from Home Act and the Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act, which expand telehealth access and extend hospital-at-home care.

By February 4, 2026, part of the promise had been delivered: two Buchanan health care reforms became law, including telehealth-from-home and hospital-at-home provisions.

Buchanan said the hearing built on his ongoing work to shift the nation toward a prevention-focused model of care, while he continued pressing for lower-cost, prevention-oriented health policy.

Within the lookback window, Buchanan was still actively pursuing the prevention side of the promise through official committee work, but this did not show Senate enactment or final delivery of the employer-flexibility component.

Buchanan led a field hearing on prevention, coordinated care, and innovative approaches to help Americans live healthier lives, emphasizing a prevention-focused health care system.

This is another concrete same-term legislative oversight step showing Buchanan continued to work on the health-care reform agenda, but it does not by itself prove the full promise was completed.

Congress.gov shows H.R. 919 passed the House and was received in the Senate on March 5, 2025; the bill's official title says it would codify IRS guidance on preventive-care safe harbor treatment for chronic-condition services in high-deductible health plans.

The preventive-services/employer-flexibility component of the promise advanced through the House and into the Senate, but the official bill record does not show final enactment, so the promise remained only partially delivered.
