Independent primary verification confirms Rep. Adam Gray (D-CA13) is the named sponsor and primary author of H.R. 4849, the 'Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act of 2025' — the exact bill named in the promise. Congress.gov's bill text (BILLS-119hr4849ih) shows 'Mr. Gray' as introducer with the exact title, and the bill's purpose is to repeal Medicaid-cutting provisions from prior reconciliation legislation and expand ACA premium tax credit eligibility. Gray's official house.gov press release confirms introduction on July 30, 2025 (the 60th anniversary of Medicare/Medicaid) with the stated goal of restoring coverage for ~15 million Americans nationwide and ~420,000 Medi-Cal recipients in his rural Central Valley district. Additional primary evidence (Aug 26, 2026 Gray-Lofgren press release) shows he continues leading Medicaid-funding fights, pressing HHS/CMS to release $867.5M in withheld deferred federal Medicaid payments. The bill has not been enacted (referred to Ways & Means and Energy & Commerce in a GOP House), so FULL is not appropriate — but Gray plainly LED the effort rather than casting a single supporting vote. The same standard applied to a Republican who authored a signature health-care bill matching a campaign promise would yield CHAMPIONED. Verdict: CONFIRM.
