"I will not stop fighting until Americans have universal access to it."

Ivey’s official healthcare issue page explicitly restates the universal-access commitment, but it does not show delivery, reversal, or abandonment in the current lookback window.

Ivey's official House healthcare page says making health care affordable is a top priority, that access should be deepened and expanded, and: "Health care is a right not a privilege, and I will not stop fighting until Americans have universal access to it." The same page lists H.R. 247 and H.R. 3069, the Medicare for All Act, as legislation he sponsored or cosponsored in the 119th Congress.

Ivey continued to publicly embrace the universal-access goal in office and identified concrete healthcare bills he backed, including Medicare for All, but the page does not show universal access was enacted.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Ivey, Glenn [D-MD-4] as a cosponsor of H.R.3421, the Medicare for All Act, dated 05/17/2023.

Ivey took concrete legislative action in his first House term by cosponsoring the Medicare for All Act on the day it was introduced.

Congress.gov describes H.R.3421 as a bill establishing a national health insurance program that would cover all U.S. residents and provide automatic enrollment. Its tracker says the bill had the status Introduced, with latest action on 12/17/2024 referred to the Subcommittee on Health.

The 118th Congress Medicare for All bill targeted universal coverage but did not pass beyond introduction/referral before the term ended, so the promised outcome was not delivered in that term despite effort.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Ivey, Glenn [D-MD-4] as a cosponsor of H.R.3069, the 119th Congress Medicare for All Act, dated 04/29/2025.

Congress.gov says H.R.3069 would establish a national health insurance program administered by HHS, cover all U.S. residents, provide automatic enrollment, and prohibit cost-sharing for covered services. The tracker says the bill has the status Introduced.

The current Congress version of Medicare for All matches the universal-access objective but, as of the record checked, remains introduced rather than enacted.

Congress.gov says H.R.247 would make permanent temporary ARPA and IRA changes that expanded eligibility for and increased the premium tax credit. Its tracker says the bill has the status Introduced.

This bill would expand affordability and access through ACA premium tax credits, but it is narrower than universal access and had not become law in the cited record.

CBO reported that the share of people without health insurance reached 7.2 percent in 2023 and projected the rate would be 8.9 percent in 2034, citing factors including the end of Medicaid continuous eligibility and expiration of enhanced marketplace subsidies after 2025.

Official CBO projections show the United States still lacked universal health insurance coverage and was not on a baseline path to universal coverage.

The Census Bureau reported that in 2023, 92.0 percent, or 305.2 million people, had health insurance for some or all of the year, and noted that the percentage without health insurance remained around 8 percent in 2023.

Census data confirms that national health coverage was not universal during Ivey's first House term.

Ivey's healthcare page lists a January 8, 2026 press item stating that he voted for a three-year extension of ACA enhanced premium tax credits and describing the vote as shielding Marylanders from skyrocketing healthcare bills.

Ivey backed an incremental affordability measure in a later term; this supports continued effort on access but not delivery of universal healthcare.
