must use their voice and their roles as advocates
and educators to inform the public and their
legislators, about the meaning of the proposed
laws and the ramifications the decisions will
have on providing affordable, accessible, and
high quality care for all people.
Our daily practice experience working
with patients and their families exposes us to
the inequities, injustices, and frustrations of
today’s healthcare delivery systems. We have
an opportunity to change things by using our
voice to teach others ways of doing things better
for everyone. When new legislation is being
introduced, we can counter the “politics” and
rhetoric with reason, facts, and data based on
our extensive experience of practice and trust.
One of the most important pieces of proposed
change in the way health care is delivered in
Colorado centers around the ColoradoCares
Initiative 20 that the public will vote on
later this year. The CNA GAPP committee is
actively exploring this legislation. I urge each
of you to educate yourself about this ballot
amendment so that you can accurately convey
the pros and cons of this plan based on fact,
direct experience, and knowledge to counter
the distorting political rhetoric that is sure
to follow. All Coloradans need to make an
informed decision about this important piece
of legislation. Let nurses lead the way in
educating all.
If you are not a member of Colorado Nurses
Association now is the time to join your voice
with ours, to stand and be counted. If you are a
member, now is the time to involve yourself to
advocate, educate, and promote the health care
issues in your community.
