Assignment task:
The elected legislators' positions on policies at the state and national level depend more on party affiliation agenda than the view of the Americans, the voters who elected them. This has become the politics of today, which is unhealthy for the nation. Because public policy and politics are intertwined, participating in policy work requires a better understanding of the government structure, the policies, and the politics to advance sustainable legislation (Short, 2022). Just as the ACA's benefits did not impact all members of society equally, the policy changes that curtail some of the ACA's benefits will disproportionally impact some. Nurses, being trusted members, should endeavor to get into government at every level and to participate in the ongoing evaluation to protect ACA. Times are hard for Americans, so there is a need for legislators, regardless of party affiliation, to work together to ensure better access to healthcare and improve quality for all Americans.
