S. 5269 was introduced by Mr. Whitehouse for himself and Mr. Cassidy, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Finance; the bill text appropriates $10,000,000,000 for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 for hybrid payments.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof.

Cassidy materially advanced a bill matching the promise by serving as an original cosponsor of the Pay PCPs Act, which would provide the specified $10 billion primary-care investment. But the evidence shows only introduction/referral to committee and no enacted appropriation or implemented funding, so the promised investment has not been delivered. The serious same-term legislative attempt warrants an effort badge, but not fulfillment.
