Evidence
Congressional Record Index entry for Emanuel Cleaver lists H.R. 7391 and H.R. 4317 among the bills associated with him in the 119th Congress, 2nd Session. H.R. 7391 is the Community Health Center Drug Pricing Protection Act, and another indexed item is the Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) Reform Act.
The bill page shows H.R. 7391, introduced in the House on February 5, 2026, with Emanuel Cleaver listed among the bill's supporters/cosponsors and referral to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The measure addresses drug pricing for community health centers by limiting covered outpatient drug prices to the 340B ceiling price at purchase.
Assessments
The promise was framed as continuing to fight for lower prescription drug costs, not guaranteeing enactment of a specific bill or a measurable price reduction. In the same federal office context, Cleaver is credited with concrete aligned legislative activity, including support for drug-pricing-related measures such as H.R. 7391 and PBM reform efforts. The cited evidence does not show those 119th Congress bills becoming law or independently proving lower costs, so the delivery rests on fulfilling the advocacy/action promise rather than completing a specific policy outcome.
