Bill lifting rules on nurses could make NC health care cheaper. Will it pass this year? Will Doran, The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.)
Mar. 13 RALEIGH A bipartisan group of state lawmakers has teamed up with advocates for nurses, rural communities and regulatory reform to file a bill they say will make health care both cheaper and more widely available in North Carolina.
It s the 2021 version of the SAVE Act, which has been filed in past years and defeated by opposition from groups representing doctors. The bill would allow specially trained nurses to perform more medical duties, without having to be supervised by a doctor.
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – Necessity apparently is the mother of entrepreneurship, at least in the times of the COVIDA-19 pandemic. And North Carolina entrepreneurs are those responding at high rates, especially with so-called “high propensity” potential – the potential to create payrolls and thus jobs.
These new firms could produce more than 200,000 jobs over time, according to data from NC IDEA, an economic development foundation in Durham.
Nationally, the rate of new entrepreneurship is the highest it’s been in 25 years and possibly longer. That’s according to a report released this week by the Kauffman Foundation, which found that 380 people out of every 100,000 adults 0.38 percent became new entrepreneurs in any given month of 2020, and increased throughout 2020.

These are the enticing words on the signup page of Asheboro’s soon-to-be-launched black business accelerator. The effort will be a collaboration between VentureAsheboro, Rotary International, and Small Business Center.
“The idea stemmed from a conversation in our Midstate Rotary Group. I belong to a rotary group that, during the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement, we wanted to do something meaningful and people had a variety of ideas,” VentureAsheboro Founder and Rotary International member Jonathan Thill explains, “What we ended up landing on was trying to address the generational wealth gap through business ownership.”
