With the passage of the Healthcare Reform bill, it is important that H.R. 2043 is considered given the fact that it addresses nursing education, expansion, and development; which can drastically impact the quality of care given to patients in the future. I emailed Congressman Jim Moran, representing the 8th district of Virginia. Congressman Moran largely supported passage of the landmark health insurance reform, and serves in a highly politically influential area outside of the District of Columbia in Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, Fairfax County, and Reston, VA.
Congressman supports the current healthcare reform because of its step in curbing increases health care delivery costs as well as providing more treatment to peoples suffering from mental illnesses. He has also been proactive in disease prevention, health promotion, and cessation of smoking in multiple House office buildings. He is also involved in National Institute for Health (NIH) and funding for health research, while supporting medical and scientific communities’ rights to exercise their skills in current stem cell research. There are multiple non-profit organizations that Congressman Moran continues to provide funding for, including a nurse-managed care facility at Marymount University.
I believe that with Congressman Moran’s support of healthcare reform, involved research and disease prevention efforts, and support of nursing care facilities to help lower income families, Congressman Moran can help the passage of H.R. 2043 due to his congressional influence and history of health care involvement.
