Continue bipartisan work to modernize Medicare and expand access to quality mental health resources.
Occurrences
Evidence
Huizenga said he and Rep. Lou Correa introduced the Veterans Suicide Prevention and Care Enhancement Act, bipartisan legislation to improve mental health outcomes for veterans by expanding access to evidence-based suicide prevention care and improving provider transparency.
Congress.gov shows H.R. 4619, the Medicare Mental Health Inpatient Equity Act of 2025, was introduced by Rep. Tonko with Huizenga as a cosponsor and referred to the House Ways and Means Committee on July 22, 2025; the bill status remains Introduced.
Assessments
Huizenga continued bipartisan activity related to the promise during the same federal term: he cosponsored H.R. 4619, the Medicare Mental Health Inpatient Equity Act of 2025, and introduced bipartisan veterans mental-health legislation. However, the Medicare-specific bill remained only introduced/referred, and the veterans suicide-prevention bill does not fully deliver the Medicare modernization component. This shows meaningful effort and partial alignment, but not full delivery of the promised policy outcome.
