Congress.gov lists H.R.1 as law, with House passage on May 22, 2025, Senate passage on July 1, House agreement to the Senate amendment on July 3, and becoming Public Law No. 119-21 on July 4, 2025.

A major reconciliation bill in the same Congress was not blocked; it became law two months after the campaign pledge.

CRS states that P.L. 119-21 includes health provisions affecting Medicaid and that CBO estimates the Medicaid provisions will reduce federal outlays by $989.7 billion and increase the uninsured by 7.5 million in FY2034.

Official CRS/CBO analysis shows the enacted law included large Medicaid spending reductions, directly contradicting the promise to block legislation cutting Medicaid.

CBO says the enacted Medicaid chapter of P.L. 119-21 will reduce the deficit by $886.8 billion over 2025-2034 and increase the number of people without health insurance by 7.5 million in 2034.

CBO's direct estimate of the enacted Medicaid chapter supports treating P.L. 119-21 as Medicaid-cutting legislation that Davis did not block.

Assessments

The promised outcome was to block any legislation cutting or privatizing Social Security or Medicaid. During Davis's same federal House term, H.R.1 became Public Law 119-21, and official CBO/CRS evidence indicates its Medicaid provisions substantially reduced federal Medicaid spending and increased the uninsured population. Davis voted against the bill at both key House votes, showing a serious effort to oppose it, but the Medicaid-cutting legislation still passed and became law.
