The official House issue page says Plaskett remains committed to working with colleagues in Congress on legislation that would provide easy and affordable coverage for working families in the Virgin Islands and across the country.

This is the promise itself, on her official congressional site.

Congress.gov shows Plaskett introduced H.R. 1029 on February 14, 2023. The bill would improve Medicare and Medicaid treatment for U.S. territories and let residents who cannot get employer or exchange coverage obtain coverage at least as broad as the D.C. exchange; its latest action remained referral and the tracker status was Introduced.

Concrete legislative effort aligned with the pledge, but it did not become law or even advance beyond introduction and referral.

Congress.gov shows Plaskett introduced H.R. 6494 on December 5, 2025. The bill again sought to alter Medicaid and Medicare rules for the territories and allow residents unable to get employer or exchange coverage to obtain coverage at least as broad as Members of Congress and staff through the D.C. exchange; the bill was referred to committee and stayed introduced.

Renewed legislative effort matching the campaign promise, but still no enacted coverage legislation by the as-of date.

In her official statement, Plaskett said she spoke on the House floor in defense of affordable healthcare and supported a three-year extension of ACA enhanced premium tax credits, which the House passed on January 10, 2026.

Official evidence that Plaskett actively supported federal action to lower coverage costs, though this was not a completed campaign promise-specific bill for the Virgin Islands.
