The promised outcome was to fight for a cap on prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare. Warnock sponsored S.4011, which directly proposed capping annual Medicare prescription drug out-of-pocket spending, and voted for H.R.5376, the Inflation Reduction Act. That bill became Public Law 117-169 on August 16, 2022 and included a Medicare Part D annual out-of-pocket cap starting in 2025. Because the cap was enacted in law during the same Senate term, the promise was delivered.
