T.J. (Julian) Bushoff (born 21 March 1997) is a Dutch politician from the Labour Party (PvdA). 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. Bushoff's focus is on curative healthcare as well as the damage cause by induced earthquakes due to extraction from the Groningen gas field.
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. 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.
