Congress.gov lists H.R.5376 as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and shows the latest action on 08/16/2022 as Became Public Law No: 117-169 after House and Senate passage.
Assessments
Frankel materially supported enacted Medicare protections by voting for the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which became Public Law 117-169 while she was serving in Congress. The law added concrete Medicare-related protections, including drug price negotiation authority, insulin cost limits for Medicare beneficiaries, and an annual out-of-pocket prescription drug cap. Because the promise to "Protect Medicare" is broad and these measures do not prove comprehensive protection of the entire Medicare program from all cuts or future threats, the best adjudication is partial delivery rather than full delivery.
