While Kaiser’s reversal of its discriminatory anesthesia reimbursement policy in Washington is promising, @WashingtonCRNAs & @AANACRNA calls on Kaiser & other commercial payors to abandon these dangerous practices & put patients first. Learn more: https://t.co/cqjRd3dIZW
Proponents of #HB2674 are pitting healthcare providers against each other. Let’s stop politicizing healthcare and work to ensure everyone has access to high-quality, affordable healthcare via a competitive market. Thank you @votewarren for holding special interests accountable!
@Wadsack4Arizona plz review sb1699 strike all bill through an anti-competitive lens. giving an assistant to one competitor and not another is ≠ #FreeMarket U are a proponent of competition, but that = level playing field for competitors. This is the opposite, and that’s not you.
@mmfnpcrna@DGlaucomflecken@aanacrna Shameful. It must be difficult to have professional conflict with nearly 60,000 CRNAs providing the lions share of all anesthetics across the nation.
@DGlaucomflecken was excited to see you at the national conference but am disappointed that other individuals and groups lacking professional self-confidence pressured you to rescind. Those groups are an embarrassment to healthcare professionals everywhere. @aanacrna
If you don’t think that nation wide influences don’t exist in AZ, here is some proof. “Dear Representative Cook:
I'm a practicing Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant (CAA) …currently practicing in Greenville, South Carolina” - my response- Az can take care of Az. TY
@kari_jerge@DavidGSalama Do you think polling your Twitter followers is a good way to gather research? Or maybe take a moment to look at the actual data that shows CRNAs are just as safe in any and all practice settings working independently.
@kari_jerge Would you rather have a board certified nurse anesthetist who does anesthesia all day every single day? Or a MAYBE board certified physician anesthesiologist who may or may not have actually sat a case in the past 10 years 🤔 ALL CRNA’s are board certified. #facts#wearetheanswer

This afternoon I'm meeting President Trump, VP Pence and other administration officials at the White House. My talking points are as follows:
Immediately direct federal agencies (e.g., HHS, CMS, VA, etc..) to remove all regulatory barriers for CRNAs and other APPs. (1/4)
@ianmulgrew I am aghast that my home country @Canada is considering MDs with 1 year training to provide anesthesia and wont even acknowledge thousands of ex pat Canadians working in the USA with 3 years of training doing anesthesia DAILY. @aanawebupdates https://t.co/Y3x6z2ctB4
