Congresswoman Kim Schrier introduced the bipartisan Medicare Advantage Improvement Act, legislation aimed at strengthening the Medicare Advantage program to protect healthcare for seniors. The bill aims at protecting patients from unnecessary delays and denials and strengthening patient access to post-acute care providers.

Schrier continued advancing Medicare protection and access legislation in 2026, but the bill was only introduced and not enacted as of the assessment date.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Schrier clearly promised both to protect Medicare and to expand access to it. The evidence shows repeated, serious legislative efforts during her House service, including bills to add Medicare vision coverage, improve access to diabetes self-management training, and strengthen Medicare Advantage patient protections. However, the cited record does not show that these Schrier-sponsored Medicare expansion or protection measures were enacted or that the promised Medicare access expansion was otherwise delivered. Because the promised outcome was not fulfilled despite meaningful legislative attempts, this is best classified as never with an effort badge.
