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.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Inference from the current official activity page: the claim is still unresolved in the last 30 days because no fresh Medicaid/Medicare action is visible, even though earlier 119th Congress health-related activity exists.

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.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Concrete legislative action aligned with the Medicare portion of the pledge, but it is a narrow workforce incentive bill rather than full funding or guaranteed-benefit expansion.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

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.
