SUPPORT: The bipartisan SAVE Act will increase healthcare access and lower costs by removing outdated government regulations to allow high-skilled nurses to practice at the full level of their education and training. Removing this barrier could greatly expand access to care while saving up to $4.3 billion in healthcare costs, without any sacrifice in quality. Importantly, the legislation would not allow Advanced Practice Registered Nurses to do anything they are not already doing. It would simply remove an outdated and burdensome government regulation that requires these nurses to meet with a “supervising” physician every six months and pay the physician a fee. Actions related to the SAVE Act in the Senate and House will be factored into a member’s Affordable Healthcare Grade at the close of the legislative session.
