This week, Jessica Boston of the Texas Association of Business, one of the key members of the Coalition for Healthcare Access, was featured in the The Marshall News Messengers in an Oped on how outdated regulations of advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) are harming Texas patients and businesses.
"Regulating and mandating a free market such as health care carries both an economic and human cost. In the absence of competition, people end up paying more for less or must travel greater distances than necessary," said Boston. "Travel takes a person away from work, home, and their families, and raises their burden and the overall cost of healthcare."
