Public Comments for 01/27/2022 Unknown Committee/Subcommittee
HB242 - Professional counselors, licensed; added to list of providers who can disclose or recommend records.
I respectfully urge you to SUPPORT HB 915. This bill is essential to prevent unelected bureaucrats from establishing the school mandated immunizations in Virginia. This establishes an additional safeguard from regulatory capture/corruption. Thank you.
HB264 - Public health emergency; out-of-state licenses, deemed licensure.
I respectfully urge you to SUPPORT HB 915. This bill is essential to prevent unelected bureaucrats from establishing the school mandated immunizations in Virginia. This establishes an additional safeguard from regulatory capture/corruption. Thank you.
HB390 - Medical assistance services; violence interruption services.
HB534 - State plan for medical assistance services; eligibility, social security disability income.
I am writing in support of HB 306 to be heard in committee tomorrow morning, which will allow a religious exemption to vaccines during an epidemic. Religious exemptions exist so that citizens can act freely in mind, body and spirit. Even in a time of an epidemic, citizens must have the opportunity to act on their conscience whatever that may be. The Nuremberg Code requires bodily autonomy and informed consent for any medical treatments to one’s body. Having religious exemption makes sure that remains the rule of law. As we’ve seen over the last two years, government has retained control over persons and their bodies in a way that would make Thomas Jefferson role over in his grave. Let Virginia continue to be religiously free, as the birthplace of religious freedom. Support HB 306.

It is extremely important to include SSDI as an exclusion for income for qualifying for Medicaid just as SSI is excluded. Without Medicaid, people with disabilities like my brother, who is severe and profound, non-verbal autistic would not be able to survive. The services and supports Medicaid provides are essential to being able to live safely. For SSDI to disqualify my brother from receiving the Medicaid benefits that are his lifeline would be penalizing him because his is disabled and receives help from the SSA because he cannot work. I implore you to consider the consequences, both good and bad, and allow my brother to continue receiving the services he needs to survive by excluding SSDI from qualification for Medicaid.

In regards to HB241, I can personally attest to the need for patients to have access to complex medical equipment when transferring to skilled nursing facilities. I work in inpatient rehab and am appalled that patients have their one means of independence (complex power wheelchairs) taken away just because they require extended care at a long term facility. This must be passed and changed.
I support all of these bills to increase coverage for children, to train care providers in the pernicious influence of cultural bias and systematic racism that can skew our medical decisions (without us even realizing it). I worked as a hospital RN, and then a Nurse Practitioner for 23 years. Nurse practitioners have the education and professional certification requirements to work collaboratively. We do not need practice agreements or supervision by a medical doctor to work within the law and limits of our profession. I do not agree with any measures to limit the dissemination of birth control to women who seek help in limiting conception. I do not know the details of Mr LaRock’s bill, but I have followed his history of preference for the State to control women in their choices for their contraception and well-being within their life limitations. I believe doing all we can to educate girls and women to be their own decision makers, and equal to men spiritually, mentally, and legally will reduce the incidence of unwanted and too early pregnancy better than any heavy-handed scare tactics.
HB92 - Health care providers; amends definition to include home care organizations and hospice.
