Health Freedom in Maryland
A new coalition is forming to push for health freedom legislation in Maryland in the next legislative session. It's calling itself the Free State Health Care Coalition (FSHCC). They're meeting tonight to lay down a strategy. Here's what they have to say for themselves:
We are going to Annapolis in January 2007 to advocate for freedom of choice in health care in Maryland through legislation. We have short term and long term goals. Using as our model the efforts of other states and organizations, FSHCC will work with Maryland legislators and citizens to protect the right of patient and provider in the pursuit of health care and delivery services.
There have been several incidents where alternative practitioners have been persecuted in Maryland, so a change in the law is definitely needed and I hope this effort succeeds.
