Larsen said he joined Rep. Dan Newhouse on May 22, 2026, to introduce the Ensuring Rural Health Care Access for Military and Tribal Families Act. The release says the bill would let Island Health in Anacortes be designated a Critical Access Hospital, which would raise Medicare reimbursement and provide access to the 340B drug discount program, and Larsen said it would create a cost-saving lifeline that preserves vital services and quality medical care for servicemembers.

Recent concrete legislative action to expand rural health care access and reduce costs, but only at the introduction stage, not yet enacted.
