ANA trying to color a new Healthcare Coverage Picture. The American Nurses Association has finally started talking tough. It’s about time. Where was the ANA, this potentially very powerful lobbying force, when Bill and Hillary Clinton were trying to get all Americans at least minimum healthcare coverage? Where has it been at the government has decimated America’s medical reimbursement program? This is not an indictment of the ANA! To the contrary! I have long believed that the organization should be more politically proactive, and here they come! American Nurses Association SEEKS creation of Universal Medicare Program! Every year about a million Americans lose their medical insurance coverage. "While we are deeply concerned about the growing number of uninsured, America's nurses are concerned about a host of other problems in the current fragmented system. That's why we have proposed a comprehensive approach to preserve and improve all Americans' health status by providing a universal, seamless program that goes beyond health insurance coverage and addresses the issue of access to care, including preventive care, mental health services and prescription drugs," explained President Mary Foley, MS, RN. The ANA is proposing a Universal Medicare Program, establishing access to health care for all Americans, to be phased in over a three-year period. All children under age 19 would immediately be included in the expanded Medicare program. Here are the ANA’s Key Points for Medicare Reform::
I, for one, look am ashamed that this rich nation does so little to ensure health for its citizens. And, what little we do accomplish is slanted in such a way as to make us view beneficiaries as scofflaws and deadbeats. Enough! This great country can afford to do whatever it sets its mind to do! I’m with the American Nurses Association: let’s make it clear to the our government “leaders” that we elected them to serve our needs – and among the biggest of our needs is a fully-functioning and accessible Healthcare system! A full copy of Achieving Access for All Americans is available on ANA's website, NursingWorld. http://www.nursingworld.org/ Email your comment about this editorial
Reader Comment:
Treating people poorly, slowly and inefficiently is NOT the
reason I became a nurse. Having to explain to people why they are having to
wait on basic needs (like going to the bathroom) and why they are so few
RNs
to take care of them is NOT for me any longer.
