The campaign issues page says: "In Congress, Gabe will work to lower healthcare costs for New Mexicans by fighting for a public option, adding dental and vision benefits and lowering the eligibility age for Medicare to 55, and ensuring that Medicare can negotiate for lower prescription drug costs."

This is the underlying campaign promise and matches the claim almost verbatim.

The House office health page says Vasquez "voted to slash prescription costs, expand coverage for seniors and ensure price transparency by passing the bipartisan Lower Costs, More Transparency Act," but it does not show enactment of a public option, Medicare dental or vision, a lower Medicare eligibility age, or Medicare negotiation authority matching the promise.

Official office material shows general health-cost activity, but not delivery of the specific promised Medicare changes.

GovInfo identifies H.R. 7478, introduced by Rep. Gabe Vasquez on February 10, 2026, as a bill to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to establish standards for financial assistance and medical debt collection in the Medicare program, and to create a medical debt relief grant program.

Vasquez introduced Medicare-related health-cost legislation, but it addresses medical debt, not the specific public-option, dental/vision, age-55, or drug-negotiation promise.
