Evidence
As a practicing physician of over 30 years, the issue of healthcare and cost-effective relief is of utmost importance to Dr. Murphy. He has spent his career fighting the high-cost of prescription drugs and the lack of access to quality, on-time care for patients. As Vice Chairman of the Congressional Doctors Caucus, he will fight to make the healthcare system work for patients.
Murphy said he helped lead the bipartisan effort to get the PBM Reform Act, the REAL Health Providers Act, a two-year extension of telehealth services for Federally Qualified Health Centers, and a one-year extension of the HOPE/HELP programs signed into law.
The bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Murphy, was introduced in the House on 09/10/2025 and is a health policy measure to establish provider directory requirements and accountability for provider directory accuracy under Medicare Advantage.
Congress.gov lists Rep. Gregory F. Murphy as a cosponsor of H.R. 4317, the PBM Reform Act of 2025, a bill 'to assure pharmacy access and choice for Medicare beneficiaries.' The bill was introduced in House and referred to committees.

Assessments
The promise was broad and framed as a commitment to fight for a patient-centered healthcare system rather than to enact one specific reform. In federal House context, Murphy can receive credit for introducing, cosponsoring, and advancing patient-facing health legislation, and the record includes several healthcare priorities he says he helped lead that were signed into law, including PBM reform, provider-directory transparency, telehealth extensions for FQHCs/RHCs, and HOPE/HELP extensions. Additional same-term committee advancement and bill introductions further support sustained effort. Because the promise was effort-oriented and he materially advanced and helped enact relevant health measures while still in office, this is best counted as delivered, though the breadth of the claim limits confidence.
The promise was framed as a commitment to fight for a patient-centered health care system, including lower prescription drug costs and better access to timely care, rather than a specific pledge to overhaul the entire system. During his federal House service, Murphy sponsored or helped advance multiple patient-facing health measures, including PBM reform, provider-directory transparency, telehealth extensions for FQHCs/RHCs, and HOPE/HELP program extensions, with several described as signed into law. That is sufficient to credit the campaign promise as delivered in the same term, while the effort badge reflects substantial legislative activity behind the outcome.
The promise was broad and framed as a commitment to fight for patient-centered health care rather than a specific measurable systemwide outcome. Murphy took concrete health-policy actions aligned with the pledge, including supporting PBM reform, provider-directory accuracy, telehealth extensions, and related patient-access measures, with some priorities reportedly signed into law. However, the evidence does not show that the overall healthcare system was made to work for patients in the broad sense promised, so the best rating is partial fulfillment.
