has the right to the highest quality of healthcare. For decades, ANA has utilized the experience and expertise of its members to fight for meaningful health care reform.</p> <h4>Advocating in reaction to political policy</h4> <p>At the highest levels, ANA advocates for policymakers to recognize the true value of nursing, and the unique perspective that nurses have to offer. The voices of nurses are instrumental in advancing public health. The passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, often referred to as the ACA) in 2010 created essential health benefits, increasing protection for millions of people against losing or being denied insurance. ANA has <a href="/globalassets/docs/ana/health-system-reform---final--haney---6-10-10.pdf">outlined cornerstones of effective reform</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>What鈥檚 at Stake Without the Affordable Care Act? </strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a class="e-button--white" href="/globalassets/docs/ana/ana-health-care-infographic-nurses-patients-no-aca_2017july13.pdf" target="_blank">Download the infographic</a></p> <p>There have been many attempts to repeal the ACA but the strongest began at the end of 2016. In determining whether to support these proposals, ANA analyzed the proposed reforms against its four principles for health care reform. As the nation鈥檚 largest group of healthcare professionals, ANA was instrumental three times in 2017 in stopping the passage of legislation that would undermine the current health care delivery system, impacting nurses and their patients.</p> </div> <div class="dynamic-ad-container dynamic-ad-container-leaderboard"> <div id="ROS-728" class="dynamic-ad dynamic-ad-leaderboard" style="margin: 20px auto; height: 90px; width: 728px;"> <script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ROS-728'); }); // ]]></script> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="content-area"><div class="block editorialblock hasnav"> <section class="grid-constraint"> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid__item large--two-thirds pad--large--one-third"> <div class="e-richtext"> <h4><a href="/globalassets/practiceandpolicy/health-policy/principles-healthsystemtransformation.pdf" target="_blank">ANA's Principles for Health System Transformation</a></h4> <p>In December 2016, ANA delivered a <a href="/globalassets/docs/ana/trumptransition-team-letter.-2016-december-5.pdf" target="_blank">letter</a> to then President-elect Trump outlining ANA's Principles for Health System Transformation.<br />The system must:</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div><div class="block c-container-block"><div class="grid-constraint"><div class="grid"><div class="c-container-block__content"><div class="block accordionitemblock grid__item one-whole large--two-thirds pad--large--one-third hasnav"> <section class="e-accordion__item" data-require="./src/views/accordion-item-view" data-collapse-panel="true" data-gtm-event-action="/practice-policy/health-policy/health-system-reform/" data-gtm-event-label="Ensure universal access to a standard package of essential health care services for all citizens and residents." > <a class="e-accordion__toggle" href="#" data-accordion-toggle> <h2 class="e-accordion__toggle-title">Ensure universal access to a standard package of essential health care services for all citizens and residents.</h2> </a> <div class="e-accordion__item-content" data-accordion-content> <div class="e-richtext"> <p>This includes:</p> <ul> <li>An essential benefits package that provides access to comprehensive services, including mental health services.</li> <li>Prohibition of the denial of coverage because of a pre-existing condition.</li> <li>Inclusion of children on parent's health insurance coverage until age 26.</li> <li>Expansion of Medicaid as a safety net for the most vulnerable, including the chronically ill, elderly, and poor.</li> </ul> </div> </div> </section></div><div class="block accordionitemblock grid__item one-whole large--two-thirds pad--large--one-third hasnav"> <section class="e-accordion__item" data-require="./src/views/accordion-item-view" data-collapse-panel="true" data-gtm-event-action="/practice-policy/health-policy/health-system-reform/" data-gtm-event-label="Optimize primary, community-based, and preventive services while supporting the cost-effective use of innovative, technology-driven, acute, hospital-based services.

These changing demographics present the need for more complex and longer-term care. To provide the best possible experience for patients, innovative approaches should be considered; whether through utilizing new technologies or by extending the nursing scope of practice to reflect the true extent of nursing expertise.</p> <h4>Promoting ongoing conversations</h4> <p>Like in the case of our aging population, ANA recognizes that the debate over healthcare is ongoing, and we remain committed to educating the public about how nursing impacts our lives and the profession.</p> <p>ANA continues to deliver the role of the nurse and the profession in a manner that is informative, rich in resources, and solution oriented.
