The 1990s were a very prolific time for health care laws and regulations.These bills were all passed during that decade.The McKinney bill was partially funded, the Ryan White Act was a funding bill, and the chapter does not describe funding for the Patient Self-Determination Act.Philanthropies may or may not have been instrumental in getting some of these bills passed; the chapter provides no information on this.Nurses can make a difference in any legislation that is proposed, debated, or passed.
