Advocate for Podiatry: It Takes Two Minutes
APMA continues to advocate on behalf of podiatric medicine to address health-care reform issues. Of particular note are three bills which impact the quality of foot and ankle care – most notably with our nation’s war veterans.
- Senate Bill 1871 the VA Provider Equity Act (the companion House bill passed in 2017)
- Senate Bill 1533/House Bill 1542 the HELLPP Act.
- Senate Bill 2193 Care for our Veterans Act (to which the SB 1871 has been added)
