GovInfo lists H.R. 3387 as the No Surprise Bills for New Moms Act, introduced in the House on May 16, 2023, with Jerrold Nadler as a cosponsor. The record identifies the version as Introduced in House and says it was referred to Energy and Commerce, Education and the Workforce, and Ways and Means.
Assessments
Nadler materially advanced legislation matching the promise by reintroducing and cosponsoring the No Surprise Bills for New Moms Act, which would provide 30-day automatic newborn coverage, a uniform 60-day enrollment period, and parent notification before uncovered newborn bills. However, the available federal record shows introduction/referral and no enactment or final federal implementation as of August 18, 2026. Because Nadler remains in office and the current Congress has not conclusively ended, the promise is not delivered yet but remains unresolved rather than a completed failure.
