The promise was to introduce and support legislation repealing the Medicaid payment prohibition in Public Law 119-21. In the 119th Congress, S.2524, the Restoring Essential Healthcare Act, was introduced on July 29, 2025 and its text directly targets repeal of the relevant Public Law 119-21 Medicaid prohibition. Coons was listed among the cosponsors/supporters in the same Senate term, which satisfies the support-legislation commitment even though he was not the lead sponsor and the bill had only been referred to committee.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term A for effort

Coons materially supported legislation in the current federal term to repeal the Medicaid payment prohibition referenced in Public Law 119-21. The Restoring Essential Healthcare Act, S.2524, was introduced in the 119th Congress and referred to Senate Finance, and Coons is listed as a cosponsor on related repeal legislation. Because the promise was to introduce and support legislation, not necessarily secure enactment, formal introduction plus his cosponsorship/support satisfies the promised action in the same term.
