Congress.gov summarizes H.R.314 as applying a primary state's laws to individual health insurance coverage offered by an insurer in secondary states, exempting insurers from secondary-state laws that would prohibit or regulate that operation. The bill's status was only Introduced, with latest action referral to the Subcommittee on Health on January 25, 2017.

This is the direct type of interstate health-insurance reciprocity measure described in the claim, but it predates Donalds's congressional service and did not become law.

Congress.gov says H.R.3799 provides statutory authority for alternative health insurance options, including association health plans and individual coverage health reimbursement arrangements. The tracker shows the bill passed the House on June 21, 2023, by roll call 282, but it did not become law.

Donalds had an opportunity to support a related free-market insurance-expansion bill during his House service; it advanced only through the House, so it is partial effort rather than fulfilled delivery of interstate insurance reciprocity.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Donalds supported a related health-insurance-choice measure, H.R.3799, and voted for House passage in 2023 during his current House service. But that bill did not become law and did not itself enact the promised interstate purchase/use reciprocity for health insurance. The more direct interstate-reciprocity bill cited predates Donalds's congressional tenure and also did not pass. Because there is evidence of legislative effort but no delivered federal policy outcome, this is a failed promise with effort credit.
