Assessments
Allen promised to support legislation protecting seniors' access to doctors and care. During the House term following the 2022 campaign, he cosponsored H.R.8702 on November 12, 2024, the Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act of 2024, which addressed Medicare Advantage prior authorization requirements. Because the promise was framed as supporting legislation rather than securing enactment, same-term cosponsorship is enough to count as delivered. His later cosponsorship of similar 2025 legislation further reinforces continued support but is not needed for timing.
