The introduced bill creates a health care professional tax credit with monthly credit amounts of $300, $400, or $500. It defines qualifying individuals as licensed or certified health professionals providing qualifying health care services in qualifying facilities, including Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities and facilities located in health professional shortage areas.
Assessments
Tenney promised specifically to introduce legislation creating a tax credit for health care professionals serving qualifying facilities, including rural or underserved communities and VA facilities. GovInfo shows that on March 9, 2026, during the 119th Congress while Tenney was serving in the House, she introduced H.R. 7884, the Healthcare is Human Act of 2026, with a full title matching that promised tax credit. The bill text also includes qualifying facilities such as VA medical facilities and facilities in health professional shortage areas. Because the promised action was introduction of legislation, not enactment, the promise was fulfilled in the same term.
