    AbstractIn this presidential election, as the largest group of health care providers, nurses are witness to the impact of effective and failed health care policies across all health care settings on individuals, communities, agencies, and states. Nurses have a responsibility to not only be informed and participating voters, but we also need to inform those around us on how the current health policies are improving or preventing the delivery of access to quality, cost-effective care. Nurses have the opportunity and responsibility to be key informants regarding the impact of health care reform on the health care delivery system, on the profession, and on health care outcomes. The collective voice of 3.1 million nurses could change the results of this close election.
