Congress.gov lists H.R. 1628 as passed by the House but not enacted.

Official bill record confirms the 2017 bill Dingell opposed contained Medicaid changes affecting home- and community-based long-term supports.

CBO estimated that policies in H.R. 1 as passed by the House would increase the number of uninsured people by 10.9 million in 2034; Medicaid provisions in the Energy and Commerce title accounted for 7.8 million of that increase. CBO identified Medicaid work requirements, more frequent redeterminations, and provider-tax restrictions among the drivers.

Official score confirms H.R. 1 contained Medicaid policies projected to reduce coverage, making Dingell's No votes evidence of fighting those cuts, although the bill ultimately became law.
