The Capping Costs for Consumers Act will bring down the cost of care for millions of Americans to make sure they can access the care they need, when they need it.

Schrier backed legislation to reduce out-of-pocket healthcare costs by lowering deductibles and co-pays.

Today Congresswoman Kim Schrier helped pass the Inflation Reduction Act, and her office said the law will allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices, cap annual out-of-pocket costs for Medicare recipients at $2,000, cap insulin at $35 per month for seniors, and help families continue to afford health insurance.

Schrier supported a law that lowered some healthcare costs for Medicare beneficiaries and some marketplace enrollees, but it was a broader later-term legislative result rather than an immediate campaign promise fulfillment.

Rep. Schrier introduced H.R.7164 on January 20, 2026; Congress.gov shows the bill was referred to committee and remained at the Introduced stage.

This is another direct attempt to lower healthcare costs, but it had not advanced into enacted policy as of the assessment date.

Schrier's official healthcare issues page says the Inflation Reduction Act is now law and that it helps address healthcare affordability by lowering drug prices, capping annual out-of-pocket medication costs, capping insulin at $35 per month for Medicare beneficiaries, and capping health care premiums at 8.5% of family income.

Her office claims credit for enacted affordability measures, but the page also shows the promise was addressed through broader policy and not as a single immediate one-step delivery.

Schrier said in 2022 that she was working in Congress to bring down health care and prescription drug costs, and her office noted support for the American Rescue Plan premium cap, her bill to speed generic insulin to market, and a vote to cap insulin at $35 a month.

This shows sustained effort to reduce healthcare costs, but the cited actions were still policy steps rather than full immediate fulfillment of the broad promise.
