Evidence

On May 13, 2026, the House Record shows Mrs. Harshbarger introducing H.R. 8779, "a bill to prohibit pharmacy benefit managers and pharmacies from being under common ownership," with bipartisan cosponsors and referral to the Committee on the Judiciary.

This is a concrete legislative step toward PBM reform and drug-price transparency, but it is only introduction/referral, not enactment.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Harshbarger took a concrete federal legislative step by introducing H.R. 8779 in May 2026 to address PBM common ownership, which is relevant to drug prices and healthcare transparency. However, the evidence shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment or an implemented reduction in government interference, lower drug prices, expanded healthcare access, or transparency reforms. Because this was a serious attempt but did not deliver the promised outcome, it counts as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
