The fact that the bill passed unanimously in the Senate and with bipartisan support in the House suggests that members of both political parties agreed that the courts should have at least considered additional medical evidence in her case.

So, what's being done about the fact that the courts blew Congress off?

Nothing. Congresscritters are counting on weak constituent knowledge regarding the balance of powers, especially the power of judicial impeachment by Congress if Congress feels its power to legislate has been stepped on.
