Occurrences

I support efforts to strengthen the solvency of both Social Security and Medicare so that it is protected for future generations, but any such plan must make sure that the promise is kept and that no one in or nearing retirement has any changes to their plans.

Commits to support solvency measures with a guarantee against benefit changes for near-retirees.

Evidence

Social Security and Medicare are promises – a contract – between seniors and the federal government. ... Thus, we must work to address the long-term solvency of these programs to ensure this promise is upheld for current and future beneficiaries. ... Seniors should continue to have access to MA plans and I support reversing Obamacare’s cuts to MA plans. ... IPAB must be repealed to safeguard seniors’ medical care and I have cosponsored legislation to do this.

Babin’s official issue page still endorses strengthening Social Security and Medicare solvency while protecting beneficiary access, especially Medicare Advantage, but it is a standing position rather than a concrete 2026 delivery event.

The latest Congressional Record Index entry for Babin in May 2026 confirms ongoing official activity in the 119th Congress, but it does not show any new Social Security or Medicare solvency action in the lookback window.

Assessments

partial same_term

Babin has publicly supported protecting Social Security and Medicare benefits and has taken some related congressional actions, such as cosponsoring legislation described as protecting Social Security payments during a debt-limit scenario and supporting Medicare-related changes like IPAB repeal. However, the record provided does not show that he delivered or materially advanced an enacted reform that strengthened the long-term solvency of both Social Security and Medicare while protecting benefits for people in or near retirement. Because the promise was phrased as support for efforts rather than a guarantee of final enactment, these actions merit partial credit, but not full delivery.
