Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Capping Costs for Consumers Act of 2021
This bill expands and provides funding for assistance to certain individuals who enroll in plans through health insurance exchanges.
Specifically, it increases the premium assistance tax credit by revising, from the second-lowest cost silver plan to the second-lowest cost gold plan, the benchmark plan on which the credit amount is based. The bill also requires individuals to enroll in a gold plan to be eligible for cost-sharing reductions and it extends the reductions to individuals with a higher maximum household income.
These changes apply to plan and tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
