Assessments
Marshall has materially advanced legislation aimed at lowering health care costs, including S.3389 and related proposals on price transparency, PBMs, and prior authorization. However, the cited record shows these efforts remain pending, with S.3389 only introduced and referred to committee, and Marshall's own May 18, 2026 statement frames the work as unfinished. There is not enough evidence of enacted federal policy or a realized cost-lowering outcome attributable to him, so the promise is not delivered yet but remains active rather than finally failed.
