Protects People with Pre-Existing Conditions
Protect people with pre-existing conditions.

Evidence
"Today, Congresswoman Kim Schrier, M.D. (WA-08), introduced the bipartisan Medicare Advantage Improvement Act (MAIA), legislation aimed at strengthening the Medicare Advantage program to protect healthcare for seniors." The release says the bill would protect patients from unnecessary delays and denials and standardize coverage criteria between Medicare Advantage and traditional Medicare.
Assessments
Schrier has taken relevant federal action consistent with protecting health coverage, including introducing legislation to reduce Medicare Advantage delays and denials and standardize coverage criteria. However, the evidence does not show that she delivered a broad statutory or executive outcome specifically protecting people with pre-existing conditions beyond existing ACA protections. Because the record supports meaningful effort but not full fulfillment of the promised outcome, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
