Fully fund Medicaid and strengthen Medicare's guaranteed benefits.

Evidence
Current Congress.gov member activity for Budzinski shows no newly visible Medicare or Medicaid legislative action in the 2026-05-24 to 2026-06-22 window; the newest relevant item visible on the page is her Feb. 3, 2026 Medicare bill, H.R.7324.
Congress.gov lists Budzinski as the sponsor of H.R.7324, introduced on Feb. 3, 2026, to expand Medicare bonus-program eligibility for mental health and substance-use-disorder practitioners.
Assessments
Budzinski has taken concrete same-term action related to the promise, most clearly by sponsoring H.R. 7324 on February 3, 2026, to expand a Medicare bonus-program incentive for certain mental-health and substance-use-disorder practitioners. That shows meaningful effort on the Medicare side, but it is a narrow introduced bill that did not enact full Medicaid funding or a broad strengthening of Medicare's guaranteed benefits. With no enacted outcome delivering the full pledge and only limited, partial progress attributable to her, the best judgment is partial rather than delivered.
