Activists

attempt to gain congressional and senate support of two key
bills:
* Recognizing Telehomecare Interactions
- The Fostering Independence Through Technology Act
(H.R.3030 and S.457)
* Physician Assistant / Nurse Practitioner / Nurse
Midwife to Certify Home Care Orders - The Home Health
Care Planning Improvement Act (H.R. 4993 & S.2814)

Congresswoman Betsy Markey, CO-4, holds newly passed Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (health care reform bill)
as Ellen Caruso, Sue Brown, Yvette Tanner and Tiffany
Hill ask her support of home care initiatives. |
Congressman Mike Coffman (CO-6) listened intently to
Colorado home care constituents and later signed on to H.R.
4993 which will allow physician assistants, nurse
practitioners and nurse midwives to sign home care orders.
Congressman Ed Perlmutter (CO-7) also signed on to the
legislation. |
