Assessments
Allen’s 2022 campaign promise was to work to lower seniors’ health care and prescription drug costs. During later House service, he voted for H.R. 7148, which became Public Law 119-75 and included Medicare Part D PBM accountability and prescription-drug-cost provisions. This is concrete federal action aligned with the prescription drug cost portion of the promise, though enacted after the 2023-2025 term tied to the 2022 election and with major effective dates later.
