Verified evidence shows DeGette introduced the INSULIN Act and the bill would create a $35 monthly insulin cap for insured individuals, with proposed coverage beginning for plan years on or after January 1, 2028. The verified record provided only shows introduction and committee referral, not enactment or implementation by the as_of_date. The existing Medicare $35 insulin cap is narrower than the promised insured-individuals outcome and is not tied by verified evidence to this commitment. Because this is documented material effort but not documented delivery, the outcome remains unresolved.
