From AAPS News Letter 6/17/2010
Health Care Freedom Acts
Spreading Across the United States

In 2006, physicians Eric Novack, M.D. and Jeff Singer, M.D. (who are also AAPS members) laid the foundation for the Arizona Health Care Freedom Act which will be on the Arizona ballot in November 2010.  It is the prototype for other such acts now being considered across the United States.

The US Health Freedom Coalition is supporting efforts to enact  Health Care Freedom Acts in all 50 states.  At their website, www.ushealthfreedomcoalition.com, you can see a map of the states that are in the process of enacting Health Care Freedom Acts.

The Health Care Freedom Act protects 2 rights:

1) The right to choose NOT to participate in any health care system or plan WITHOUT a penalty, fine, or tax. Because it is not what you GET when you join, but it is the FINE PRINT you are now subject to: ALL the rules, regulations and restrictions.

2) The right to spend your own money to get access to any lawful health care service. Because NO BUREAUCRAT, public or private, should be able to take that right away.
