The Honorable Representative:___________________________
Ohio House of Representatives Fax:
PLEASE SUPPORT H.B. 580
THE OHIO CONSUMER HEALTH FREEDOM BILL
Dear Representative: ___________________________________ ________2008
- I respectfully urge you to join Rep. John Adams and co-sponsor, support and vote for H.B. 580, the Ohio Consumer Health Freedom Bill.
- As an informed consumer, I want the freedom to make my own choices about my health care, including the right to choose from both licensed and unlicensed health care practitioners in Ohio.
- My access to traditional healers and practitioners in Ohio is being threatened because of Ohio laws that give exclusive rights to small numbers of state licensed professionals to engage in all aspects of the healing arts and make it a crime for alternative providers to practice.
- Traditional, alternative and complementary practitioners engage in safe nutritional and lifestyle counseling, herbal and homeopathic therapies, and many less expensive modalities. Yet, in Ohio, no law protects my access to these often more affordable unlicensed practitioners.
- Six States - Minnesota, California, Rhode Island, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Idaho; all have health freedom laws that exempt unlicensed practitioners from criminal statutes as long as they avoid specific prohibited conduct and give out proper disclosures.
- H.B. 580 would protect thousands of Ohio entrepreneurial natural health based businesses in Ohio, assuring the consumer’s informed access to available sources of local complementary and alternative health care information and services.
- H.B. 580 would encourage and protect established businesses to continue supporting their community and Ohio’s economy.
PLEASE SUPPORT AND VOTE YES FOR H.B. 580 TO PROTECT MY FREEDOM OF CHOICE!
