Newswise — “For America’s Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies in the 34 states with federal exchanges means simply that ACA implementation continues. The Court has left to Congress and the President whether to further reform the Act. And it has left states to decide whether to accept ACA funding for Medicaid expansion, as 30 states have done. But access to insurance is not the same as access to healthcare. For patients to have access to excellent care they can afford, health plans and new payment systems must continue to recognize and fully cover the services of CRNAs and other Advanced Practice Registered Nurses. That’s what we’re working to help them do.”
