Occurrences
U.S. Representative Josh Riley (NY-19) today announced he is co-leading the bipartisan Care Over Profits Act (H.R. 7861) to force health insurance companies to spend more of the money families pay in premiums on actual care.
Evidence
"Bringing down costs for working people"; "RILEY BILL TO LOWER GAS PRICES PASSES HOUSE"
"RILEY, LANDSMAN LEAD EFFORT TO DRAIN THE SWAMP"; "RILEY SECURES COMMITMENT FROM AG SECRETARY..."
Assessments
Riley’s campaign policy page made the promise in concrete terms: he said he would increase the Medical Loss Ratio so more premium dollars go to care rather than insurer profits. But in the available federal-office record through June 12, 2026, the provided evidence and Riley’s official House materials show general cost-cutting and other bills, not a clearly identifiable sponsored, cosponsored, or voted-on measure by Riley to raise that health-insurance spending requirement. Because he is still in office and the record here does not show either delivery or a documented serious failed attempt, the safest adjudication is unresolved rather than delivered, partial, or never.
