I’m working to lower prescription costs
work to lower prescription costs
Occurrences
To make life more affordable, my first bill was lowering prescription costs and increasing childcare tax credits.
Evidence
"To make life more affordable, my first bill was lowering prescription costs and increasing childcare tax credits."
Sponsor page shows the bill was introduced and referred on 03/27/2025; tracker status is Introduced.
Menendez said the bill would "increase transparency" in prescription drug pricing and "result in savings for patients and employers."
Assessments
Menendez took concrete same-term legislative action by introducing or sponsoring prescription-drug affordability legislation aimed at PBM transparency and patient savings. However, the cited bill remained only introduced/referred and there is no evidence that it became law or produced actual prescription-cost reductions. Because the promise was framed as working to lower costs rather than guaranteeing enacted reductions, this is best rated partial rather than never.
