Lowering Healthcare Costs and Expanding Access: Congressman Troy Carter Leads Bipartisan Reforms

Congressman Troy Carter is advancing federal legislation to expand healthcare access and lower long-term systemic costs across the United States. His proposed Women’s Health Support and Expansion Act establishes a $55 million grant program to help states establish or expand dedicated offices for preventive care. Additionally, Carter co-sponsored the bipartisan Improving Care for Youth Act to eliminate Medicaid billing rules that prevent children from receiving same-day mental health evaluations during routine doctor visits. Together, these initiative targets bureaucratic inefficiencies to deliver immediate, life-saving care while protecting public healthcare budgets.
