The ACA: Here Are (Mostly) Reasons Why Not

It’s no surprise that our mailbag overflowed with responses to Marie-Eileen Onieal’s editorial, “The ACA, Six Years Later ...” (Clinician Reviews. 2016;26[5]:10, 12). Everyone has an opinion about health care reform­—including a nursing legend.

Politics and Points to Ponder
Your commentary on the ACA “six years later” provides an insightful historical perspective, discussion of the current political dilemma, and overview of this, as you put it, “step in the right direction.” I hope all NPs and PAs will consider their political agendas in terms of the rights of our citizenry, along with their rights to practice: the right to health care, to choose health care providers, to change their social determinants of health, and to the preservation, promotion, prevention, and protection of their family’s and community’s health, as well as their own. All in the national and public interest!
