Evidence
Sen. Ossoff is cosponsoring Ally’s Act, bipartisan legislation first introduced by Sens. John Curtis (R-UT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), which would help children with hearing loss get the care they need by requiring insurance providers to cover bone-anchored hearing systems and cochlear implants, as well as the surgery, maintenance, and upgrades associated with these devices.
Ally's Act requires private health insurance plans to cover certain hearing devices and systems (e.g., bone-anchored auditory implants) and related items and services. The financial requirements and treatment limitations applicable to such coverage may be no more restrictive than the requirements and limitations for other medical and surgical benefits covered under the plan.

Assessments
The promise was to support legislation requiring insurance coverage for bone-anchored hearing systems, cochlear implants, and related surgery, maintenance, and upgrades for children with hearing loss. During Ossoff's current Senate term, he cosponsored Ally's Act, which matches the promised policy substance. The bill had not been enacted and remained at introduction/referral, but enactment was not the stated promise; the promised act of legislative support was fulfilled.
Ossoff materially supported the promised legislation by cosponsoring Ally's Act during his Senate term, and the bill text matches the promised insurance-coverage requirement for bone-anchored hearing systems, cochlear implants, and related surgery, maintenance, and upgrades. However, the evidence shows the Senate bill and House companion remained introduced/referred rather than passed or enacted, so the promised coverage mandate was not delivered into law. Because there was a serious legislative attempt, this is a failed delivery with effort credit.
Senator Jon Ossoff cosponsored Ally's Act, which would fulfill his promise to support legislation requiring insurance providers to cover bone-anchored hearing systems, cochlear implants, and related services for children with hearing loss. Multiple sources confirm both his active legislative support and the comprehensive nature of the proposed legislation. However, there is no evidence that Ally's Act or similar legislation was enacted into law. Therefore, while Ossoff made a substantial and serious legislative attempt, the outcome (mandatory insurance coverage) was not delivered.
