Evidence

GovInfo text shows H.R. 9455 was introduced by Mr. Bean of Florida on June 25, 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. The bill would amend Internal Revenue Code section 36B(c)(3)(A)(i) to exclude qualified health plans from issuers that do not offer at least one plan allowing $0 cost-sharing at service and monthly cost-sharing payments.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Bean introduced a bill matching the commitment, but the official bill record shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment.

The official U.S. Code page for 26 USC 36B says the text contains laws in effect on August 28, 2026. Its current and future-amendment notes reflect Pub. L. 119-21 changes but do not show H.R. 9455 or the monthly cost-sharing-payment eligibility restriction as enacted law.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of the lookback window, the Internal Revenue Code section at issue had not been amended to include Bean's proposed monthly cost-sharing-payment condition.

Bean sponsored H.R. 9455 in the 119th Congress, which matches the promised Internal Revenue Code amendment and was referred to House Ways and Means on June 25, 2026. However, the bill has not been enacted, and current 26 U.S.C. 36B does not include the proposed premium-tax-credit eligibility restriction. This is a serious same-term legislative attempt but not delivery of the promised statutory change.
