Evidence
Congress.gov summary says H.R. 2811, as passed by the House, included a Medicaid community-engagement/work requirement for certain adults and would prohibit federal Medicaid payments and allow disenrollment for people who failed to meet it for three or more months in a year.
The House Clerk records Roll Call 199 on passage of H.R. 2811, the Limit, Save, Grow Act, as passed 217-215; the member list records Davids (KS), Democratic, Kansas, as voting Nay.
GovInfo’s enacted Public Law 119-21 text contains Subtitle B—Health, Chapter 1—Medicaid, including sections on provider taxes and Medicaid community engagement requirements for certain individuals.
Congress.gov states H.R. 1 became Public Law No. 119-21 on July 4, 2025. Its Medicaid summary includes six-month eligibility redeterminations for expansion enrollees, reduced matching rates for certain emergency services, limits on provider taxes, Medicaid work/community-service requirements, and new cost sharing for some expansion enrollees.
The House Clerk records Roll Call 145 on passage of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Act, as passed 215-214-1; the member list records Davids (KS), Democratic, Kansas, as voting Nay.
The House Clerk records Roll Call 190 on the motion to concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, as passed 218-214; the member list records Davids (KS), Democratic, Kansas, as voting No.
The House Clerk records Roll Call 50 on agreeing to H. Con. Res. 14, the FY2025 budget resolution, as passed 217-215; the member list records Davids (KS), Democratic, Kansas, as voting Nay.
Congress.gov states H. Con. Res. 14 provided reconciliation instructions to House committees to submit legislation increasing or decreasing the deficit for FY2025-FY2034, and records House passage by Roll Call 50 on February 25, 2025.
Assessments
Davids promised to continue voting against Medicaid cuts. During her federal House tenure, she voted Nay on H.R. 2811 in 2023, which included Medicaid work requirements and payment/disenrollment restrictions, and voted Nay on H.R. 1 in 2025, including both initial passage and final approval before it became Public Law 119-21 with Medicaid reductions and restrictions. She also voted against the budget resolution that enabled the reconciliation process. Because the promised action was voting against Medicaid cuts, these votes directly fulfill the pledge in the same term context.
