Assessments
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.
