Congress.gov shows Rep. Underwood introduced H.R.3480 on May 19, 2025, again proposing to amend the Affordable Care Act to include fertility treatment and care as an essential health benefit. The latest action is referral to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, with the bill still listed as Introduced.

The promise remained unfulfilled in the 119th Congress as well; the proposal did not advance beyond introduction and committee referral.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Underwood made a concrete federal legislative attempt by introducing bills in the 118th and 119th Congresses to make fertility treatment and care, including IVF, an essential health benefit under the Affordable Care Act. However, the evidence shows those bills were only introduced and referred to committee, with no enactment or nationwide coverage/access mandate delivered. Because the promised outcome was not achieved despite serious legislative effort, this should be scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
