1* A proposal has been made to train and
license nurse practitioners to expand the routine medical care they currently
provide. This would allow doctors to
focus on treating the more challenging health care cases. Generally speaking,
do you favor or oppose training and licensing nurse practitioners to expand the
medical care they currently provide?
2* How comfortable would you be visiting a
trained and licensed nurse practitioner for routine medical care?
3* If doctors were able to focus more on
challenging health care issues because more routine medical care was handled by
nurse practitioners, would that improve the quality of health care or reduce
the quality of health care?
4* If the medical care that nurse practitioners
were allowed to provide was expanded, would the cost of health care increase,
decrease or stay the same?
5* Should the federal government establish a
single standard for all health care regulations or should states establish
their own individual standards for health care regulation?
