EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — Texas State Senator Cesar Blanco desires to chop the “pink tape” to develop healthcare to underserved areas within the state.
In the course of the 88th Legislative Session, Blanco launched the Healthcare Expanded Entry Regionally (HEAL) Texans Act, meant to replace the state’s occupational licensing legal guidelines permitting superior nurse practitioners to apply as major care docs with out the necessity of a doctor watching over them.
In Blanco’s personal phrases, the HEAL Texans Act, “will let nurses which are practitioners apply the complete extent of their coaching with none sort of pink tape or any of the monetary limitations that docs have on them.”

Blanco stated the act is required as it can develop healthcare entry to many Texans, particularly within the rural areas of the state, and also will assist, he stated, in conserving nurses in El Paso as he stated that many graduates from the College of Texas at El Paso and Texas Tech nursing packages, go away to New Mexico as that state permits nurse practitioners to function with out supervision.
In a press release, an Inner Medication Specialist and Texas Silver-Haired Legislature Member Dr. David Hackethorn seems to assist Blanco’s act, saying,
There is not any doubt: nurse practitioners are already offering the standard care their group wants. With Texas going through a dire scarcity of about 5,000 major care suppliers, letting nurse practitioners use their full coaching and abilities is a important step towards fixing Texas’ entry to healthcare disaster.
