What happened to HB7113 today!..... Thanks Angie for keeping us up to date.

We made it through the second reading of the bill in the House late this afternoon, but this massive "Health Care Train" took a lot of hits today at all parts of the bill. If you were watching the video feed, about 4:30 today – just realize how long this day was for our supporters and do stop to say thanks AGAIN to them, and especially Dr. Pigman for his diligence to stay with us!! No surprise at Rep Harrell and Rep Renuart's comments again. So it goes for 3rd reading in the House ad we hope it is soon, not on calendar yet.

Loved this St Pete article today on HB 7113- SHARKNADO!http://www.saintpetersblog.com/the-sharknado-of-health-care-bills-hb-7113-is-up-today

See this article on WUSF News too:http://wusfnews.wusf.usf.edu/post/legislative-wheeling-dealing-final-days  We must keep the momentum and make it to the Senate, but be ready for a very bloody war! Life for us may very well change on May 3, but if we run out of time (this often happens to table a controversial bill) we are ready and prepared to begin the fight again knowing this was a grand showing for NPs this year. I am very proud of all we have accomplished, but really want to see our scope of practice finalized this year! We are due this win! Get letters to your Senators now!!
