Please contact the following legislators regarding this bill.

This bill would remove the states discretion for recognizing NPs as primary care providers in the Medicaid managed care programs.

First we ask that you call and say you would like the Senator to vote in support of S56 as a necessary bill to help fix our broken health care.  Then follow up with a letter. Nothing gets passed easily unless you take a minute of your time to voice your opinion.  It will not happen unless you do something!
