Personal Legislative Agenda & Action Plan
(Student’s Name)
Context: I am a Family Nurse Practitioner and volunteer two afternoons a week at a free primary healthcare clinic in South Florida. The majority of our families are Latino or Haitian immigrants, and most of the children have at least one undocumented immigrant parent. None of the families have health insurance, many suffer chronic conditions (such as, asthma, diabetes, and HTN), and their only source for medication is from the clinic.
Problem: The fear of deportation, incarceration, and/or family separation discourages undocumented immigrant families from seeking healthcare until the symptoms are so severe, they can no longer be ignored. There are very few specialists who will accept our referrals; those who do have long wait times for appointments or are too far away for most of our families. Access to affordable health insurance and comprehensive healthcare services are desperately needed for undocumented immigrant families in South Florida and across America.

A personal legislative agenda refers to a set of policy proposals or initiatives that an individual or organization is advocating for in the legislative process. This can include issues such as tax reform, healthcare reform, education policy, criminal justice reform, and many others. The specific items on a personal legislative agenda will vary depending on the individual or organization and their priorities and beliefs. It’s important to note that a personal legislative agenda is different from an official legislative agenda of a government or political party.
