Replace "original intent" with "context" and I agree 100% with you.

I think that this is important to point out because we don't really have access to each other's "intention" (whatever this means); at most what they say and do, and specially for politics there's often a big mismatch between the alleged intentions of a policy vs. what the policy achieves.

Or, playing along the pic: if that random scribble is between a "5" and a "7", then it means six, no matter if the author claims "actually it's a nine".

(NB: I'm discussing this on general grounds, based on the image. I'm not from USA nor discussing its healthcare.)
