Evidence

Beatty's pledge to seniors says she supports strengthening and expanding Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The page also says she is a sponsor of the Social Security 2100 Act to expand Social Security benefits.

Official office page states the promise and identifies Social Security expansion as one of her goals, but it is a statement of support rather than proof of enactment.

H.R.82 became Public Law No. 118-273 on 01/05/2025. Congress.gov says the law repeals the Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination Provision, increasing Social Security benefits for affected beneficiaries.

This is a completed Social Security benefit expansion, though it addresses a narrower subset of beneficiaries than the full campaign promise and does not cover Medicare or Medicaid.

The Congressional Record index lists Beatty-related Medicare items including 'Medicare: expand access to telehealth services' and 'provide coverage of dental, vision, and hearing care,' and a combined 'Medicare/Medicaid: eliminate cost-sharing' item.

The official record shows ongoing legislative activity around Medicare and Medicaid expansion themes, but the index itself does not show enactment.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Beatty has materially supported expansion efforts for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, including cosponsoring the Social Security 2100 Act and Medicaid expansion-related legislation, but those broader bills were not enacted. A narrower Social Security expansion, H.R.82/Social Security Fairness Act, became law on January 5, 2025 and increased benefits for affected beneficiaries by repealing WEP and GPO. That delivers part of the promised Social Security expansion, but it does not fulfill the broader promise to expand Social Security generally plus Medicare and Medicaid. Because she remained in federal office when the partial outcome passed and also made serious legislative attempts on the broader promise, the proper rating is partial with an effort badge.

partial same_term A for effort

Beatty did not secure broad expansion of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid as promised. However, H.R.82 became law on 2025-01-05 and expanded Social Security benefits for a narrower class of beneficiaries by repealing the Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination Provision. The Medicare and Medicaid portions, and broader Social Security expansion proposals such as Social Security 2100, remained legislative efforts rather than enacted outcomes. Because there was a concrete enacted benefit expansion covering part of the promise, the best outcome is partial, with an effort badge for her sponsorship and cosponsorship activity on broader expansion bills.
