Moulton’s official site shows a May 26, 2026 policy reintroduction press release for an unrelated bill, with no mention of enactment of a prescription-drug out-of-pocket cap for all insurance plans.

Recent office activity demonstrates the member remains active, but it does not provide evidence of delivery on this specific claim.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The available evidence shows serious congressional effort to extend prescription-drug out-of-pocket caps beyond Medicare, including introduced bill text covering group health plans and insurance issuers. However, the record provided does not show that a universal cap across all insurance plans was enacted or implemented. Under the scoring rule, a serious legislative attempt that failed to deliver the promised outcome should be scored as never with effort_badge=true.
