Fortunately, commonsense solutions do exist to increase the quality and affordability of care for all Americans and restore the right competitive forces on the market. The federal government created this hospital monopoly problem, so we now have two choices — either we restore competition by eliminating monopoly protections, or we form a complete monopoly — a full government takeover of health care. I prefer the former and have introduced legislation to remove barriers to competition and make health care more affordable for all Americans.

Spartz commits to restoring competition in health care by eliminating monopoly protections and removing barriers to competition to make care more affordable.

Evidence

The office announced a May 7, 2026 X Spaces session titled "Health Care: Is Government the Problem or the Solution?" as part of a series of live policy briefings.

Recent official activity shows Spartz discussing health care publicly, but this is only an announcement and not evidence of enacted or implemented policy.

The bill would direct HHS to conduct an annual study on health care competition and consolidation at the state level; the introduced text shows it was referred to committee and does not show enactment.

Spartz introduced a competition-focused health care bill, but the available official bill text shows introduction only, not delivery into law.

Campaign issues page stated that health care costs were unsustainable and that federal work was needed to increase transparency and competition, allow more consumer choice, and pursue innovative value-based rather than volume-based delivery models.

This is the underlying campaign promise and shows the pledge was federal-facing, but it is not evidence of implementation.

never later_term A for effort

The evidence shows Spartz made serious later-term legislative efforts on health care transparency, competition, and consumer choice, including sponsoring multiple 119th Congress bills such as H.R.3016, H.R.3017, H.R.3020, H.R.3021, and H.R.3222. However, the official statuses cited are only 'Introduced,' with no evidence that the promised reforms were enacted or implemented. Public policy discussions also show attention to the issue but not delivery of the promised outcome.

Spartz has taken issue-relevant action during her current federal term, including introducing H.R. 3017, the Measuring State Healthcare Freedom Act, to require HHS study of state-level health care competition and consolidation, and publicly discussing health care policy. However, the bill remains only introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence that it became law or that the broader promised outcomes of increased transparency, competition, consumer choice, or value-based care expansion were implemented. This supports recognizing serious effort but not fulfillment.
