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.

Balint took an official same-term legislative support action for the Build Back Better-style child care and early learning/universal pre-K commitment, though the bill remained introduced rather than enacted.

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.

Balint officially supported same-term legislation aimed at lowering prescription drug costs and broader health insurance drug costs, matching another core Build Back Better provision. The bill was not enacted, but the commitment was to support these provisions.

Assessments

delivered same_term

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.
