@tj_NNP Advocacy for expectant moms is needed so prenatal care can begin asap.

[Paula Gonzalez @paulabgonzo]

@tj_NNP Access to comprehensive, quality prenatal care is a viable solution to preventing premature births. Healthy moms; healthy babies :)

[Paula Gonzalez @paulabgonzo]

@jsulli1217 Thumbs up for the ruling on insurance subsidies. More people will retain health insurance coverage and access to quality care.

[Paula Gonzalez @paulabgonzo]

@amanda_vining Agreed! It is in the patients best interest to consider the most non-invasive methods of treatment before considering surgery

[Paula Gonzalez @paulabgonzo]

If Supreme court rules against Obama admin in King v Burwell; 6.4 million people who receive federal exchange subsidies will be affected :(

@jsulli1217 Preventing HIV is primary focus; don't attempt to legislate morality by blocking needle exchange, condom, and sex ed initiatives

@amanda_vining I bf in the early/mid 90s and was asked to bf my infant in the bathroom with toddlers in tow! Unacceptable its still an issue

H.R. 1247 Improving Veterans Access to Quality Health Care Act of 2015 would authorize APRNs full scope of practice throughout VA system.

@tj_NNP when FL refused to accept federal funds to expand coverage FL hospitals were forced to make difficult financial choices to cover gap

[Paula Gonzalez @paulabgonzo]

@tj_NNP Agreed! NPs have the clinical knowledge to make decisions for their patients; providing comprehensive, quality care.

[Paula Gonzalez @paulabgonzo]

@jsulli1217 This will fill a gap in providing primary care among the poor and uninsured/underinsured in rural and urban communities.

@amanda_vining Hi Amanda! I am in Team 5...can you 'follow' me? I am new to twitter and am slowly figuring things out...thanks :)

[Paula Gonzalez @paulabgonzo]

Legislation that grants prescribing authority to NPs will help to alleviate the current and projected shortage of primary care practitioners

@amanda_vining Some insurance companies do not cover HPV vac for boys; To pay out of pocked for my son would have been >$800!

[Paula Gonzalez @paulabgonzo]

@amanda_vining @jsulli1217 This is a great public health concern; I do not agree with parents who refuse to vacc & rely on 'herd immunity'.

[Paula Gonzalez @paulabgonzo]

@jsulli1217 This could be helpful in improving access of care to the poor and underserved and also potentially bring care to remote areas.
