Assessments
Rick Larsen materially supported an enacted federal vehicle addressing the promise: he voted Aye on H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which became Public Law 111-148 and included Medicare program-integrity provisions such as provider screening, enhanced penalties, fraud-prevention tools, and recovery-audit expansion. For a broad House campaign promise to crack down on Medicare fraud, voting for enacted legislation with substantive anti-fraud Medicare provisions is sufficient for delivery during his service in office.
