The Science is clear. It is evident that Floridians are ready to take on this challenge. And unlike some states, I’m glad we have a Governor who puts fact before fear and recognizes that freedom isn’t a privilege during good times but is most precious when most threatened. 2/2

[Jose Oliva @RepJoseOliva]

An important example of leadership. @GovRonDeSantis has done what real leaders do, they weigh the facts and govern within the inalienable rights of the governed. With so many of our friends and neighbors impacted by closures we must continue on this path to reopen our state. 1/2

No, we aren’t #COVID19 deniers. It’s a serious health risk for the elderly and immunocompromised. And prudent mitigation, isolation, and treatment plans should go on. But fear feeds on misinformation. These data points (cited) keep things in perspective https://t.co/qHtPFIuUqh

@Co0kieM0nster4 @Fla_Pol @FloridaMedical I’ve heard this canard before & here’s my response: a physician who doubts the worth of his/her education because an APRN can practice primary care autonomously is a physician I don’t want touching me nor my family.

[Cary Pigman @CaryPigman]

...and if an MD/DO is sooooooo insecure to feel threatened by an APRN, he had better go back to school & learn to cowboy-up @Fla_Pol @FloridaMedical

[Lis @elizabe31950513]

@CaryPigman It is scare tactics , we have the proper education and training to detect and treat common chronic conditions as diabetes , hypertension , hypercholesterolemia etc and maintain quality standards. Is more access to PRIMARY CARE VS NO CARE what is being proposed.

[Florida Chamber @FLChamber]

Thank you @GovRonDeSantis for signing HB 607 into law and providing more Floridians access to safe, quality healthcare. This is particularly helpful for rural Florida and underserved communities. Thank you @CaryPigman @RepJoseOliva @ben_albritton for your leadership. #FlaPol

[Cary Pigman @CaryPigman]

@Co0kieM0nster4 @elizabe31950513 @RepJoseOliva @FloridaMedical You seem to believe there is an excess capacity of MD/DO. Why am I always seeing pts in my ED because their PMD is all booked-up for the next 3 months? Come on!

[Cary Pigman @CaryPigman]

@FloridaMedical As an emergency medicine physician what is needed at a moment like this is greater access to quality care-not cheap, self-serving, protectionist rhetoric. Shame on the FMA #FlaPol

[Cary Pigman @CaryPigman]

@Co0kieM0nster4 @FloridaTaxWatch @GovRonDeSantis @RepJoseOliva @TylerSiroisHD51 You way exaggerate my wealth (which is public record BTW), I own no urgent care clinics, I’m making house payments. I do fully own my 2014 Jeep & my 2006 Porsche. Y’all need to get a life:))

[Florida TaxWatch @FloridaTaxWatch]

HBs 607 & HB 389, increasing access to healthcare by allowing nurse practitioners & pharmacists to practice to the full extent of their training, are headed to @GovRonDeSantis desk! Congrats to @RepJoseOliva, @CaryPigman, @TylerSiroisHD51 and many others.

[Brandon @BrandonM_FL]

By the numbers:

7 - # of years it took to pass
24 - # of bill presentations
28,000 - # of APRNs who will have FPA
21,000,000 - # of Floridians who will benefit.

Amazing work @CaryPigman #FlaPol

[Cary Pigman @CaryPigman]

@sarasmiles88 Yeah, I know. In my community we are all very busy. More hands & heads are good things.

[Cary Pigman @CaryPigman]

Now is not the time to troll

[Cary Pigman @CaryPigman]

@SolNataMD I do, I will

[AFP Florida @AFPFlorida]

#HB607 is headed to the Governor's desk! The bill increases #healthcare access for all Floridians. Thank you, Rep. @CaryPigman, Rep. @JosieTomkow, and Sen. @RepAlbritton for carrying this great bill through the Legislature.

[Cary Pigman @CaryPigman]

Tomorrow, next year, we professionals & colleagues in health care will continue to wake each day prepared & eager to help our patients, ease suffering, improve health; of that I am certain @Fla_Pol @FloridaMedical
