Evidence

Action: "Ms. Pettersen (for herself and Mr. Van Drew) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce." Full title: "To amend Public Law 119-21 to repeal the budget neutrality requirement for certain Medicaid demonstration projects."

Van Drew cosponsored a bill to repeal a Medicaid budget-neutrality requirement, which is a concrete pro-Medicaid action, but it does not address Social Security or Medicare and does not prove a never-cuts commitment.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Van Drew materially advanced a pro-Medicaid bill during his current federal term by cosponsoring legislation to repeal a Medicaid budget-neutrality requirement. That supports part of the promise to protect Medicaid, but the evidence does not show protection of Social Security or Medicare, nor does it establish that he has never supported cuts to any of the three programs. The promise is broad and absolute, so the documented action warrants partial credit rather than full delivery.
