That’s why I’m fighting to ensure all patients have a clear path to understand and challenge those decisions — and confidence that a qualified medical professional is ultimately accountable for them.

Assessments
Verified evidence shows Barrett was named among members for whom H.R. 10210, the Doctors Not AI Act, was introduced and referred to committees, and the bill text would address the promised transparency, challenge, and qualified medical professional accountability requirements. However, the verified passages show only introduction and referral, not enactment or an implemented patient right. Because this was an outcome-oriented commitment and there is no verified enacted outcome as of 2026-09-16, the promise remains unresolved, with documented same-term effort attributable to Barrett.
