Evidence

The press release says the House passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 and that it incorporates Langworthy’s Rural Telehealth and Education Enhancement Act, which "Reauthorizes the Distance Learning and Telemedicine Program at $82 million annually for five years, supporting broadband infrastructure and telehealth access in rural areas."

Langworthy secured passage of a package that includes his telehealth-access provision, which is a concrete partial step toward the campaign pledge on improved telemedicine access.

The Clerk’s member page shows Langworthy serves on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and its Health subcommittee. It also lists a May 20, 2026 Health Subcommittee hearing on "Examining the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, MACRA, and Opportunities for Payment Reforms," indicating continued committee work on health-care affordability and payment policy rather than a completed final enactment of the broader pledge.

His committee role and ongoing May 2026 health hearing show the issue remains active, but this is not itself a delivered result for the full promise.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Langworthy appears to have materially advanced one concrete part of the promise: improved telemedicine access. The cited 2026 House-passed farm bill included his Rural Telehealth and Education Enhancement Act language reauthorizing the Distance Learning and Telemedicine Program at $82 million annually for five years, which supports rural telehealth access. However, the broader pledge also promised lower healthcare costs through transparency, choice, and competition, and the evidence only shows committee activity rather than a completed affordability/transparency/competition outcome. Because the delivered evidence is limited to a component of the overall healthcare-cost pledge, partial credit is appropriate, with same_term timing and an effort badge for the serious legislative work.
