Assessments
Miller-Meeks introduced H.R. 8622 on April 30, 2026 to transform Medicare's MIPS into a Data-driven Performance Payment System, directly matching the promise. However, the bill has only been introduced and referred to committees, with no evidence of enactment or implementation as of May 9, 2026. Because the legislative effort is active rather than definitively failed, the promise remains unresolved, with credit for a serious same-term attempt.
