Senator Mark Warner for Support

We also contacted Senator Mark Warner to take a look at our blog. The reason we chose him as one of our contacts is because he is the senator of Virginia, and should know the opinions that us as nursing students have on H.R. 2043. During his time as governor, Senator Warner focused on improving public education, so he is obviously concerned with the welfare of Virginia’s students. His efforts to improve the health care system go back about twenty years. He is a co-founder of the nonprofit Virginia Health Care Foundation, administered a state Medicaid program, and organized and led his freshman colleagues in adding new tools to proposed health reform legislation that are designed to lower costs for consumers and businesses. Lastly Senator Warner has been a leader in his support of non-profit organizations that promote public schools and higher education and research into Alzheimer’s disease and juvenile diabetes. Overall Senator Mark Warner seemed like a good choice to inform about our blog, since he is involved in many aspects of education as well as healthcare.
