Evidence
Congress.gov lists Rep. Becca Balint as a 03/08/2023 cosponsor of H.R.953. The bill's official title was to establish universal child care and early learning programs, and the CRS summary says family fees would be subsidized and capped at 7% of income.
Congress.gov lists Rep. Becca Balint as an 08/08/2023 cosponsor of H.R.4895. The bill would expand Medicare drug price negotiation to additional drugs and private insurance, and extend certain Medicare rebate requirements to private insurance drugs.
Assessments
The promise was framed as supporting Build Back Better provisions, not guaranteeing enactment. As a federal House member, Balint took same-term official legislative support actions by cosponsoring H.R.953 for child care and early learning/universal pre-K on March 8, 2023, and H.R.4895 for prescription drug cost reductions on August 8, 2023. Those actions materially satisfy a support pledge even though the bills were not enacted.
