What the record shows ·
She voted Yea on the motion to concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 5376, the reconciliation act known as the Inflation Reduction Act, on August 12, 2022 (Roll Call 420, agreed to 220 to 207); it became Public Law 117-169 four days later. Earlier, on December 12, 2019, the House agreed 231 to 192 to her own amendment to H.R. 3, the Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act, clarifying that federal employee health plans are covered by the bill's price reduction provisions.

Limit: The recorded votes move in the direction the statement describes. The card does not verify the specific effects she names, whose scope is a question about the text of Public Law 117-169 rather than about her votes, and it does not claim she wrote any of those provisions. Her amendment was to a different bill, which did not become law. Her words here were read in the Internet Archive's snapshot of 2026-08-03, because her campaign site returns HTTP 403 to automated readers, and the wording is unconfirmed against the live page.
