I will keep fighting to lower the cost of prescription drugs and to keep politicians out of our most personal health care decisions.
Keep politicians out of Kansans' most personal health care decisions.
Occurrences
I'll keep fighting to protect Kansans’ access to care and keep these decisions between patients and their doctors — not politicians or courts.
Evidence
“While Rep. Davids has long advocated to keep politicians out of Kansans’ health care decisions...”
Latest Action: Senate - 02/28/2022 Cloture on the motion to proceed to the measure not invoked in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 46 - 48. Record Vote Number: 65.
Sponsor: Rep. Davids, Sharice [D-KS-3] (Introduced 04/09/2025) ... Latest Action: House - 04/09/2025 Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Davids said personal health care decisions should stay between a patient and their doctor, not politicians, and called on House leadership to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act.
Assessments
Davids clearly pursued the promise through advocacy and legislation, including introducing the Expanding Access to Family Planning Act and pressing for the Women’s Health Protection Act. However, the cited measures were not enacted, and the promised outcome of keeping politicians out of Kansans’ personal health care decisions was not delivered as a binding policy result. Because there was a serious legislative effort but no enacted outcome, this is classified as never with an effort badge.
