Evidence

CMS states the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation still exists, develops and tests payment and delivery models, and is part of CMS as of the page's March 16, 2026 last modification.
CMS says the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation is still a component of CMS, that it develops and tests new healthcare payment and service delivery models, and that the page was reviewed and revised on June 1, 2026 / last modified June 1, 2026.
GovInfo lists H.R. 8293, the Abolish the CMMI Act, in the 119th Congress as introduced in the House on April 15, 2026. The action states that Mr. Bean of Florida introduced the bill and that it was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Ways and Means. The full title is: To abolish the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation.
The introduced bill text states that H.R. 8293 is a bill to abolish the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. Section 2 says the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation is abolished, and Section 3 would repeal Social Security Act section 1115A, 42 U.S.C. 1315a.
The official U.S. Code page for 42 U.S.C. 1315a says the text contains laws in effect on June 24, 2026. It still includes section 1315a, titled Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, and states that there is created within CMS a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to carry out the duties described in the section.
CMS describes the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, also known as the CMS Innovation Center, as developing and testing new healthcare payment and service delivery models. CMS also says the Innovation Center is a component of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and the page was reviewed and revised on June 1, 2026, with page last modified June 1, 2026.
Assessments
CMMI was not abolished: 42 U.S.C. 1315a remained in effect and CMS continued to describe the CMS Innovation Center as an active CMS component in June 2026. Bean did introduce H.R. 8293, the Abolish the CMMI Act, matching the promise, but the record shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment or repeal. This is a serious legislative attempt without delivery.
Aaron Bean materially pursued the promise by introducing H.R. 8293, the Abolish the CMMI Act, on April 15, 2026. But the official bill record shows only introduction and committee referral, with no enactment. Separate CMS evidence from 2026 shows the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation still exists as an active component of CMS. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but the promised outcome was not achieved, this is best scored as never, with effort credit.
Aaron Bean introduced H.R. 8293 to abolish the CMS Innovation Center, which is a serious legislative attempt, but the bill was only introduced and referred to committee and did not become law. CMS still lists CMMI as active, so the promised abolition has not occurred.
Aaron Bean introduced H.R. 8293, the Abolish the CMMI Act, during the 119th Congress, which is a serious legislative attempt to fulfill the promise. However, the evidence shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no enactment, and CMS still describes the Innovation Center as active in 2026. Because the promised abolition has not occurred, this is not delivered, but the effort badge applies.
