Evidence
The platform states: "Medicare For All" and "Guarantee healthcare for all people"; it says Medicare for All would "uncouple healthcare from your job" and "cover" broad medical services.
Congress.gov shows H.R.1976 was introduced on 03/17/2021 and its latest action was referral to a subcommittee on 05/18/2021; the tracker lists the bill status as "Introduced" and the steps stop at introduced.
The page says she "proudly supports H.R.1976: Medicare for All Act of 2021," describing it as a single-payer system that "guarantees healthcare for all" and notes other health-policy wins like the Inflation Reduction Act.
The House page still says the Congresswoman "proudly supports H.R.1976: Medicare for All Act of 2021" and that it "guarantees healthcare for all"; the same page also highlights separate, narrower health-policy wins.

Assessments
Ocasio-Cortez explicitly promised universal healthcare through Medicare for All, but that outcome was not enacted. The main legislative vehicle cited in the record, H.R. 1976, was introduced in the 117th Congress and stalled at the subcommittee stage without passage or enactment. Her official House materials show continued support for Medicare for All, which indicates a serious legislative effort, but support did not produce the promised federal policy outcome. Under a federal legislative standard, this is a failed delivery with effort rather than a fulfilled or partial delivery.
The promise was to guarantee healthcare for all people through Medicare for All, which would require enactment of a universal Medicare for All system. The evidence shows Ocasio-Cortez supported and promoted Medicare for All and backed H.R.1976 in 2021, but the bill remained at the introduced/referral stage and was not enacted. Continued support and related health-policy wins do not fulfill the specific promised outcome of guaranteed healthcare for all through Medicare for All. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but the promised outcome was not delivered, the correct outcome is never with effort_badge=true.
