Evidence

The “Patient Refunds for Bad Denials Act” would create financial penalties for health insurers that deny more than 25% of claims per year, with penalties paid back to affected patients.

Ryan took concrete legislative action affecting access to health care, but this is indirect evidence rather than a direct mental health/addiction resource expansion.

Ryan’s office said its inquiry found declining quality of care, increased fees, incorrect billing, provider burnout, and accessibility problems affecting health care access.

Earlier serious action on health-care access and quality, but outside the 30-day lookback and not specific evidence of increased mental health/addiction recovery resources.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Available evidence shows Ryan took concrete action on health-care access and insurance denials and his official biography claims he delivered new investments in mental health services, but the record provided does not clearly document a specific, verifiable increase in mental health and addiction recovery resources attributable to him for this promise. Because there is some indication of related progress and effort, but not enough to confirm the promised outcome was fully achieved, partial credit is most appropriate.
