AHCA and Nursing Advocacy Discussion

 AHCA and Nursing Advocacy Discussion

In a Microsoft Word document of 4-5 pages formatted in APA style, you will imagine you are going to make a visit to your representative in Congress. There are two parts to this assignment.

Address the following topics:

  • Develop a one-page document that supports your position on the AHCA that you would leave with your representative or his or her aide when you make your visit.
    • This one-pager, also called a “leave behind,” should state your position clearly in bullet points and give your reasons why your position is preferred.
    • This “leave behind” should have 1 inch margins and utilize 14-point font throughout.
    • If you were making this visit in person, you would present your “leave behind” to the person with whom you speak during your visit.
    • Include a second page that describes your rationale for the position in your “leave behind” page supported by at least two journal articles.
  • Write a two-page brief to describe the scenario surrounding your legislative visit. Understanding the political affiliation of your representative, include answers to the following:
    • Was your member in support or in opposition to the AHCA?
    • State three points that you would cover in support or opposition to your representative’s position.
    • How does your nursing experience influence the advocacy position that you take on the AHCA?
