Carter materially advanced legislation matching the promise by co-introducing the Improving CARE for Youth Act, which would allow Medicaid reimbursement for same-day behavioral health and primary care services for children. However, the evidence shows only introduction and referral to committee, with no enactment or implemented Medicaid reimbursement change. This is a serious legislative attempt but not a delivered outcome.
