Assessments
Balint took direct federal legislative action by sponsoring H.R.7394 to create mental and behavioral health career promotion grants and cosponsoring H.R.929 to reauthorize mental health protections for health care providers. However, the evidence shows both measures remained introduced/referred rather than enacted or funded, so the promised federal funding/support outcome was not fully delivered.
