Health Medical Homework Help

1) Identify your state district representative (Illinois). Research his/her political background and significant bills that he/she has supported and include the bill number. Summarize and comment on your findings in a paper written in APA 7th edition format. Paper should be a minimum of 2 pages and a maximum of 3 pages in length. Please read additional information attached below.

My state district representative is: Tim Ozinga (District 37) https://ballotpedia.org/Tim_Ozinga

https://ballotpedia.org/Illinois_House_of_Representatives_District_37

Use this bill: INS CD-AIR AMBULANCE SERVICES (HB0317) https://legiscan.com/IL/bill/HB0317/2021

You can use this personal example: I had a patient who had a failing liver and needed to be sent to the Mayo clinic. There was a helicopter that would be an hour flight with no stops but it costed $12,000 because insurance didn’t cover it. Instead she chose to pay $2000 for a helicopter that was covered by insurance but it was a 4 hour flight instead so making that decision put her at risk based on the money aspect and not her health. 

2) Then, compose a letter to your representative identifying a CURRENT health related issue or bill that you would like supported or refuted. Introduce self as a nursing student.
