creating a Medicare-based public option
Create a Medicare-based public option.
Occurrences
Evidence
"Moving forward ... I am working to build on the Affordable Care Act and expand access through a public option."
Schrier introduced the bipartisan Medicare Advantage Improvement Act on April 24, 2026.
Assessments
No federal Medicare-based public option has been enacted. Schrier has continued to state support for a public option and has introduced public-option-adjacent health legislation, including a State Public Option Act and Medicare Advantage reform, but those do not create a Medicare-based public option and have not delivered the promised outcome. Because she remains in federal office and the commitment is still framed as an active goal, the status is unresolved rather than delivered.
