    Read the full check

    Full detail

    In a December 2025 release from his House office, he said premiums are skyrocketing and affordable coverage is out of reach, and announced two bills he introduced to widen coverage options. Congress lists him as sponsor of both, introduced December 4, 2025: the ACCESS Act (H.R. 6420), which would let short-term plans run up to three years with renewals, and the IMPACT Act (H.R. 6421), which would open catastrophic plans to people whose income makes them ineligible for premium tax credits or reduced cost-sharing. Both sit in the Energy and Commerce Committee. He voted Yea on the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act on December 17, 2025 (Roll Call 349, passed 216 to 211), and Yea on extending the enhanced premium tax credits through 2028 on January 8, 2026 (Roll Call 11, passed 230 to 196). Both went to the Senate; neither has become law. He also voted for the 2025 reconciliation act (Roll Calls 145 and 190), which is law. Its health sections require some adults on Medicaid to show work or other community engagement to stay eligible, limit premium tax credits for some lawfully present immigrants, and let bronze and catastrophic marketplace plans count for health savings accounts. Limit: His campaign's priorities page does not list health care; this is from his House office. Bills and votes show which way he moved, not what they would do to premiums or coverage. His own bills and the two premium bills have not become law; the reconciliation act has.
