Evidence
Reporting in the lookback window says nearly 500,000 moderate-income New Yorkers lost health insurance on July 1, 2026 due to implementation of H.R. 1, with further nationwide coverage losses projected from Medicaid work requirements and related health funding cuts.
The Clerk records H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, as passed 218-214 on July 3, 2025. Nancy Pelosi, Democratic, California, voted No.
Public Law 119-21 includes 'Modifications to SNAP work requirements' and requires states to establish Medicaid community engagement requirements, including 80-hour monthly work, community service, work program, or education conditions for certain Medicaid beneficiaries.
The same enacted law also contains sections titled 'Extension and enhancement of paid family and medical leave credit,' 'Enhancement of employer-provided child care credit,' and 'Enhancement of the dependent care assistance program.'
The Clerk records the Build Back Better Act as passing the House 220-213 on November 19, 2021. Nancy Pelosi, Democratic, California, voted Yea.
GovInfo identifies Public Law 111-148 as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, approved March 23, 2010, with legislative history showing the House concurred in Senate amendments on March 21, 2010.
Assessments
The full multi-part commitment was not delivered: universal affordable health care, paid leave, healthy food access, childcare, and aging/disability care remain unmet, and the 2025 enacted law moved Medicaid and SNAP access in the opposite direction despite Pelosi voting against it. Pelosi has, however, materially supported partial progress, especially the ACA's expansion of affordable health coverage and House passage of Build Back Better provisions tied to childcare, paid leave, ACA subsidies, and home care. Because key efforts failed to become law and the fulfilled pieces are incomplete relative to the promise, this is partial rather than delivered; the timing of the positive delivery evidence relative to the specific campaign promise is not established.
