Allow Americans to use healthcare dollars for preventative care and wellness.

gives Americans greater freedom to invest in prevention and wellness
Evidence
The Great American Healthcare Plan includes a section titled “Refocusing the System on Prevention and Patient Control,” stating: “By allowing Americans to use healthcare dollars on preventative care and wellness, the plan shifts the system away from reactive ‘sick care’ and toward long-term health outcomes.” The same release says the bill expands HSAs and eligible expenses to include wellness essentials.
On the House floor, Burlison argued for giving people “control over their healthcare dollars” and described a “massively expanded, tax-free account” usable for insurance, direct primary care, and health sharing arrangements. He also said the model should include health sharing and other alternatives as the “core engine” of reform.
The site’s latest news still features the April 16, 2026 introduction of the Great American Healthcare Plan, and no later official post in the lookback window shows House passage, Senate action, or enactment of the preventive-care/wellness component.
Assessments
Burlison clearly advanced the promise by introducing the Great American Healthcare Plan, which explicitly proposed allowing healthcare dollars, including expanded HSA-eligible expenses, to be used for preventive care and wellness. He also publicly advocated this approach on the House floor, showing serious effort in the same term. But the evidence provided does not show House passage, Senate passage, enactment, or another completed policy change implementing the promise. Because the policy appears actively pursued but not yet achieved, the best classification is unresolved rather than delivered or partial.
