Assessments
The verified commitment promised the INSULIN Act would prohibit health care plans from applying deductibles to select insulin products. Verified evidence shows DeGette introduced the INSULIN Act, which is material effort attributable to her, but the verified passages do not show enactment or that health plans are legally barred from applying those deductibles. With no deadline expired as of 2026-09-14, the outcome remains unresolved rather than delivered or never.
