NR509 W1 Professor Response

Respond to the professors discussion response and answer the questions asked. Professors Response: Having worked in emergency medicine for many years I agree with you that ERS are overcrowded and the wait time is too long. One way to improve access to healthcare is to have patients enrolled in Medicaid. Class, millions of people rely on Medicaid for their health care. But the rules vary state-by-state, and there’s always something cooking in the state legislatures to either expand or restrict Medicaid access. How can you find out what’s going on in your state (Georgia)? What kind of website would you go to? And what is your local state nursing association doing about Medicaid access and informing nurses how to get coverage for their clients?
