In a Microsoft Word document of 4-5 pages formatted in APA style, you
will imagine you are going to make a visit to your representative in
Congress. There are two parts to this assignment.
Address the following topics:
Develop a one-page document that supports your position on the AHCA
that you would leave with your representative or his or her aide when
you make your visit.
This one-pager, also called a “leave behind,” should state your
position clearly in bullet points and give your reasons why your
position is preferred.
This “leave behind” should have 1 inch margins and utilize 14-point font throughout.
If you were making this visit in person, you would present your
“leave behind” to the person with whom you speak during your visit.
Include a second page that describes your rationale for the position
in your “leave behind” page supported by at least two journal articles.
Write a two-page brief to describe the scenario surrounding your
legislative visit. Understanding the political affiliation of your
representative, include answers to the following:
Was your member in support or in opposition to the AHCA?
State three points that you would cover in support or opposition to your representative’s position.
How does your nursing experience influence the advocacy position that you take on the AHCA?
You may find it necessary to search for answers to the questions outside of the assigned reading.
On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA format. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the South University Online Library. Below are guides that are located in the library and can be accessed and downloaded via the South University Online Citation Resources: APA Style page. The American Psychological Association website also provides detailed guidance on formatting, citations, and references at APA Style.

This assignment has two parts. Label each part separately as Part I and Part II.
Be sure to use APA guidelines for writing style, spelling and grammar,
and citation of sources. I posted APA Tips and APA Sample Paper in
Announcements and in the Discussion Area. Please review the

Title Page – Use APA Guidelines
Part
I – Page 1 – Title Page; Page 2 – Leave Behind; Page 3 – Rationale;
Page 4 – Legislative Visit. If page 3 is not a full page, you can begin
your Legislative Visit after the Rationale. But the Rationale should
thoroughly explain your Leave Behind.
Imagine that you are going to make a visit to your representative in Congress. Develop a one-page document
that supports your position on the American Health Care Act (AHCA),
also known as TrumpCare, that you would leave with your representative
or his or her aide when you make your visit. Title your one-pager, “Leave Behind.” The Leave Behind should clearly state your position in bullet points (not complete sentences). This “Leave Behind” should have 1-inch margins and utilize a 14-point font size throughout the one page.
If you were making this visit in person, you would present your “Leave
Behind” to the person with whom you speak during your visit. Do Not include an introduction or your name on the Leave Behind. Bullet points should be short. . .not in long sentences or paragraphs. DO NOT go over one page.
Page
3 is your Rationale for your position in your Leave Behind bullet
points. Use Rational as your Level 1 heading. A font size of 12 points
is required. The rationale is required to be supported by at least
two journal articles. In determining your position, I encourage you to
review the four (4) plans for The Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) to
help you decide if The Affordable Care Act is “affordable,” therefore
providing you with reasons as to support or not support the ACHA (Trump
Care). If one research article makes a statement, fact-check it. Do not
just assume the author is being completely truthful. If a liberal
writes the article, his/her opinion will be much different than if a
conservative is writing an article. Both the AHCA (Trump Care) and the
ACA (Obama Care) were misinterpreted by many people based on the
“author” of the articles, interviews, etc. Remember that Nancy Pelosi, a
Democrat from California and Speaker of the House of Representatives,
was asked what was in the ACA Bill. Her response: “We have to pass the
bill to find out what is in it.” There are always hidden things in
bills. . . .be careful and diligently research both the AHCA and the ACA
and then form your own opinion.
Part II – Level 1 heading: Brief Describing the Legislative Visit
An introduction and conclusion are not required.
Part II will help you understand the political affiliation of your representative. This section also has two (2) parts. Use a 12-point font size.
2A – Write
a brief with at least 2 well-developed paragraphs describing your
legislative visit. It can be a phone interview or in-person. Use the
heading: Legislative Visit
2B – Thoroughly answer the three (3) questions below. No heading is necessary for the questions. Just number and write the questions under your brief of your legislative visit.
Number and write each question. Numbered questions are indented like a paragraph.
1. Was your member in support or in opposition to the AHCA?
2.
State three points you would cover in support or opposition to your
representative’s position. Clearly identify each of the three points.
Ex: number, bold, or underline
3. How does your nursing experience influence the advocacy position that you take on the AHCA?
References – Do not cite references on your Leave Behind. Cite references in your Rationale.
