Rick Larsen's official press-release index showed the latest listed press releases in 2026, led by April 20, 2026, and no located Medicare or Medicaid delivery item during the June 7-July 6, 2026 lookback window.

No new official Larsen Medicare/Medicaid action was found in the last 30-day lookback; the promise remains an ongoing, unresolved commitment rather than newly delivered in that window.

Larsen's official Seniors issue page says tens of thousands of Northwest Washington seniors depend on Medicare, that he supports Medicare fraud enforcement, and that he is working to ensure Medicare and Medicaid are protected for future generations.

This directly matches the commitment but is a standing position statement, not proof that the protection has been fully achieved.

Larsen announced he voted against the Republican budget, saying it would gut services that help families afford health care; his office said 186,000 people in WA-02 would be at risk of losing Medicaid coverage, including children and seniors.

Larsen took a concrete opposing vote and public position against a budget framework he identified as threatening Medicaid coverage. The budget still passed, so this is serious effort, not delivery.

Public Law 119-21 includes health provisions such as a moratorium on Medicaid enrollment rules, Medicaid eligibility redeterminations, provider-tax changes, mandatory Medicaid community engagement requirements beginning after 2026, and a Medicare section limiting coverage of certain individuals.

The enacted law contains restrictions and structural changes affecting Medicaid and Medicare despite Larsen's opposition, indicating the broad promise to protect both programs was not fully delivered.

The Clerk records House passage of H.R. 5376 by 220-207 on August 12, 2022. Larsen (WA), Democratic, Washington, voted Yea on the motion to concur in the Senate amendment.

Larsen voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, which included Medicare prescription-drug cost provisions. This supports partial delivery on protecting Medicare affordability, but does not fully resolve the broader Medicare and Medicaid pledge.
