What they do Legislative evidence

S 355 · FDA Modernization Act 3.0

Cosponsor

Insufficient evidenceCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: expand access to health care for all

The cited action is cosponsorship of the FDA Modernization Act 3.0, which concerns FDA regulatory language and alternatives to animal testing in investigational drug applications. That is too indirect to assess a specific policy goal of expanding access to health care for all. The available passages do not show a direct mechanism increasing health care coverage, affordability, or service access, nor do they show a clear substantive restriction on that goal.

S 3466 · Honor Our Promise to Veterans Act of 2025

Cosponsor

Partly supportsCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: expand access to health care for all

The cosponsored bill would expand access to health care in a narrower, veterans-focused way by requiring faster scheduling for urgent and nonurgent VA care, improving wait-time information, and supporting staffing and infrastructure that can increase capacity. It also expands the use and administration of community care and telehealth. However, it is limited to VA and veteran health services, so it does not directly establish universal or general health care access for all people.

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Honor Our Promise to Veterans Act of 2025 This bill addresses the provision of care at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), including regarding scheduling, non-VA provider requirements, staffing, and infrastructure.”
“Regarding scheduling, the VA must (1) ensure appointments for urgent and nonurgent care for veterans are scheduled within certain time frames, and (2) provide information about driving and wait times for care at VA facilities, Veteran Community Care Program (VCCP) facilities, and via telehealth.”
“The bill also addresses requirements for non-VA providers under the VCCP, including by (1) extending the time limit for providers to submit claims to the VA for payment, (2) requiring certain training relevant to veterans, and (3) authorizing the Office of Inspector General of the VA to audit entities providing care under the VA’s authority.”
“The bill addresses VA staffing matters, including by (1) removing the cap on pay limitation waivers for critical health care personnel, (2) offering certain retirement benefits to VA police officers, (3) requiring the VA to establish a telework policy, and (4) establishing scholarship programs for certain individuals in medical or infrastructure programs who commit to a period of obligated service at the VA.”
“The VA must also address infrastructure matters, including by (1) authorizing funding for certain land acquisitions for medical facilities, and (2) requiring the VA to develop performance metrics for capital asset management programs.”

S 3302 · Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act of 2025

Cosponsor

Partly supportsCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: expand access to health care for all

The cosponsorship provides some support for expanding access to health care by backing a bill that aims to develop and speed availability of pediatric cancer treatments, including renewing FDA priority review vouchers for rare pediatric disease products. However, the measure is targeted to pediatric cancer and rare pediatric diseases, not health care access for all, so the support is meaningful but narrower than the stated broad policy goal.

“Adam also is a supporter of universal healthcare and continues to fight for expanded access to health care for all.”

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act of 2025 This bill authorizes certain targeted clinical trials involving combinations of drugs to treat pediatric cancer, and renews the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) authority to award priority review vouchers (PRVs) to sponsors of new products for rare pediatric diseases.”
“The bill also renews the FDA’s authority to issue PRVs to sponsors of new products intended to treat rare pediatric diseases through September 30, 2030.”
“GAO must report on the effectiveness of the Rare Pediatric Disease PRV program, including to what extent PRVs were successful in promoting drug development and expediting patient access to drugs for the treatment or prevention of rare pediatric diseases.”

SRES 476 · A resolution supporting the designation of October 2025 as "Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month" to raise awareness of substance use and misuse in the United States.

Cosponsor

No direct connectionCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: expand access to health care for all

The quoted policy goal is to expand access to health care for all. The cosponsorship is of a resolution designating Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month and supporting programs to prevent substance use and misuse. That is related to public health awareness, but it does not directly advance or oppose broader access to health care, so a defensible comparison cannot be made from the supplied text alone.

“Adam also is a supporter of universal healthcare and continues to fight for expanded access to health care for all.”

S 1245 · Servicemembers and Veterans Empowerment and Support Act of 2025

Cosponsor

Partly supportsCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: expand access to health care for all

The cosponsored bill meaningfully expands VA health care access in a specific context by broadening eligibility for MST counseling and treatment to former reserve-component members regardless of duty status and requiring outreach to inform potentially eligible people about MST care. That is a partial, narrower advancement of the stated goal to expand access to health care for all, but it is limited to veterans affected by military sexual trauma rather than health care access generally.

“Adam also is a supporter of universal healthcare and continues to fight for expanded access to health care for all.”

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Additionally, the bill (1) expands eligibility for MST counseling and treatment to former members of the reserve components regardless of duty status, and (2) requires various outreach by the VA to inform potentially eligible individuals about MST care.”
