Medicare.gov states that under Extra Help in 2026, beneficiaries pay a $0 premium and $0 deductible, but prescriptions at participating pharmacies can cost up to $5.10 for each generic drug. It also says beneficiaries pay $0 only after total drug costs reach $2,100, and QMB beneficiaries may still pay up to $4.90 for covered drugs.

Current official Medicare rules still allow generic drug copays for Part D Extra Help/Low Income Subsidy beneficiaries, so the promise to eliminate all generic copays has not been fully delivered as of 2026-07-02.

Congress.gov lists H.R.3069, the Medicare for All Act, as introduced on 2025-04-29 and referred to House committees. It lists Rep. Morgan McGarvey as an original cosponsor on 2025-04-29. The bill status is Introduced, not enacted.

McGarvey took concrete legislative action in a later term by cosponsoring a broad no-cost-sharing health coverage bill, but it had not become law by the as-of date.

The bill text includes outpatient prescription drugs among covered benefits and says no cost-sharing, including deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or similar charges, may be imposed for benefits under the Act.

The bill McGarvey cosponsored would eliminate copays for covered prescription drug benefits if enacted, but it is only proposed legislation.

The 118th Congress bill text included outpatient prescription drugs in comprehensive benefits and barred cost-sharing, including copayments, for benefits provided under the Act.

This first-term bill would have gone beyond the promise by eliminating copays for covered prescriptions generally, but it remained unenacted.

McGarvey's campaign health-care page says he supports Medicare for All, Medicare drug-price negotiation, and access to affordable prescription medication. The page does not state the specific Medicare Part D Low Income Subsidy generic-copay pledge verbatim.

Official campaign material supports the broader health-care and prescription-drug affordability context, but it does not independently prove fulfillment of the precise LIS generic copay promise.
