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.

Recent official House release shows Huizenga continuing bipartisan mental-health-related work in May 2026, though this is a veterans bill rather than the Medicare mental-health bill named in the promise.

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.

The Medicare-specific portion of the promise has been introduced in Congress, but the official legislative record shows no enactment or advancement beyond referral, so delivery remains incomplete.

Congress.gov lists H.R.4619 as introduced on 07/22/2025, referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means, with status 'Introduced.' Rep. Bill Huizenga [R-MI-4] is listed as an original cosponsor on 07/22/2025.

Huizenga took same-term bipartisan Medicare mental-health action by cosponsoring H.R.4619, but the bill had not advanced beyond introduction/referral in the official record.

The introduced text states that Mr. Tonko, Mr. Huizenga, Mr. Doggett, and Mr. Fitzpatrick introduced a bill to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to eliminate the 190-day lifetime limit on inpatient psychiatric hospital services under Medicare.

The bill text directly matches the promise’s Medicare and mental-health access themes, but it is introduced legislation rather than enacted policy.

Huizenga's House office announced that Rep. Bill Huizenga and Democratic Rep. Lou Correa introduced the Veterans Suicide Prevention and Care Enhancement Act, bipartisan legislation to improve veteran mental-health outcomes by expanding access to evidence-based suicide-prevention care and improving provider transparency.

This shows same-term bipartisan mental-health work and access expansion, though the bill is veterans-focused rather than Medicare-specific.

Congress.gov shows H.R.7148 became Public Law No. 119-75 on 02/03/2026 after House passage, Senate passage, and House agreement to Senate amendments. The subject terms include Medicare and Mental health.

A same-term enacted law included Medicare and mental-health provisions, supporting partial policy delivery, although it was broader appropriations legislation and not Huizenga's specific Medicare Mental Health Inpatient Equity Act.

The enacted text extends certain Medicare telehealth flexibilities, delays in-person requirements for Medicare mental-health services furnished through telehealth until January 1, 2028, and extends audio-only telehealth authority to December 31, 2027. It also includes SAMHSA mental-health appropriations and funding for evidence-based crisis systems.

The law partially delivers expanded access to Medicare mental-health resources through telehealth extensions, but it does not eliminate the Medicare psychiatric inpatient lifetime limit targeted by H.R.4619.

Huizenga's campaign site said he introduced the bipartisan Veterans Suicide Prevention and Care Enhancement Act to improve access to evidence-based mental-health resources for veterans experiencing crisis.

The campaign material helps establish that Huizenga had been presenting bipartisan mental-health access legislation as part of his platform before the current term; later House activity continued that work but did not itself fulfill the Medicare component.
