In 2022, he replaced Khadija Arib in the House of Representatives after she resigned, and he was re-elected in November 2023 on the shared GroenLinks–PvdA list.[1] Bushoff's focus is on curative healthcare as well as the damage cause by induced earthquakes due to extraction from the Groningen gas field.[2]

An amendment to the government's healthcare budget proposed by Bushoff was passed by the House in February 2024 that would appropriate €27 million towards establishing long COVID treatment centers. Minister of Health Ernst Kuipers had earlier refused to allocate any funds despite motions calling for such centers.[3][4] Later that year, he wrote a bill with Daniëlle Jansen (NSC) that would allow the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) to investigate and block takeovers of medical providers with a revenue of less than €30 million. This authority already existed for larger companies. Bushoff called it unjust that healthcare funding ended up at private investors.[5]
