Hello again!

We now have a Health Freedom bill introduced by Rep. Wes. McKinley! It is House Bill 1158. This is a HEALTH FREEDOM bill, which if passed, can protect ALL alternative healthcare providers. I am attaching a one-page letter to fax to the House Health and Human Services committee. We need your support to contact legislators to let them know how important it is to have Health Freedom for Colorado!

Please call, fax and/or email the members to tell them you want their support for this bill! It is best to do all three (call, fax and email) if you can. But if you can only do one, that is also appreciated!

Also, don’t forget to notify these same committee members that we want them to oppose the Naturopathic Physician bill, HB 1064. If passed, this monopolistic bill could put thousands of alternative healthcare providers out of business, and they could also be charged with a misdemeanor or felony for violation of this law.

Health Keepers Alliance is helping us with our cause here in Colorado. Their website is www.healthkeepers.net They already have the information about the NP bill, HB 1064, on their site. You can go to their site and fill in the form. Remember to check mark the fax box, and they will take care of Emailing and faxing all the members of the committee for you! They are now working on getting the Health Freedom bill, HB1158, also on the website so you can do the same thing.   Http://www.healthkeepers.net/state_issues.php?state=Colorado

The Naturopathic Bill is scheduled for Feb. 4^th, 1:30 p.m., Room LSB-A at the Capitol in Denver.

The Health Freedom Bill may be heard on Feb 1^st, but we don’t have a definite date as of yet. Please keep this date open and as soon as we know for sure, we will get the word out.

We hope that you will attend these meetings, as we need as many people as possible to show up and show the legislators that there are many of us who want Health Freedom in Colorado! You also have the choice to testify if you wish.

We have a yahoo group that we would like you to join so that we can keep everyone informed.

Just send a blank email to: co4hfg-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

You can also call this recording any time for information: 641-715-3900 code 9337483#

Again, Please fax, call and/or email the members of the House Health and Human Services committee members the 2 papers.

We appreciate your support.

Dear Representative: ________________________ ___________ 2008

PLEASE SUPPORT HB-08 1158

COLORADO’S HEALTH FREEDOM ACT

I respectfully urge you to join Representative McKinley and cosponsor,and support HB 1158, the Colorado Health Freedom Act!

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 Colorado.

My access to traditional healers and practitioners is now threatened because of outdated Colorado 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 other practitioners 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 Colorado no law protects my access to these preferred and far less expensive unlicensed practitioners.

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. ALL OF THESE 6 STATES HAVE HEALTH FREEDOM SAFE HARBOR EXEMPTION LAWS!!!!

HB1158 would protect THOUSANDS of Colorado entrepreneurial natural health based businesses, assuring thousands of people’s informed access to their readily available source of local complementary and alternative health care information.

COLORADO HEALTH SEEKERS DESERVE THEIR OPTIONS PROTECTED !!!

PLEASE OPPOSE COLORADO –

HB-08 1064

A monopolistic Naturopathic Doctor

Licensing Bill That

Negatively Impacts all of Natural Health

The Honorable Representative

__________________________ ____________2008

Dear Representative ________________________________:

I respectfully urge you to oppose and DO NOT Co-Sponsor HB-08 1064, a dangerously restrictive Naturopathic Doctor Licensing bill with broad implications for consumer choice.

HB1064 endangers consumer choices and health freedoms and endangers natural health care practitioner’s right to practice their trades by creating an exclusive monopoly on who provides natural, complementary, and alternative therapies, information, and services.

HB1064 makes it a crime for thousands of unlicensed persons to practice their trades unless they are licensed or regulated by the state and mandated to graduate from a particular group of schools.

I as a health freedom advocate do not support mandates that require all people to obtain permission from the state to do a healing act

I as a health freedom advocate do not support unnecessary licensure or other type of registration for unlicensed natural health practitioners or complementary and alternative health care practitioners that are not doing high risk practices or posing an imminent risk of harm to the public.

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.

ALL OF THESE 6 STATES HAVE HEALTH FREEDOM SAFE HARBOR EXEMPTION LAWS!!!!

HB1064 would destroy THOUSANDS of Colorado entrepreneurial natural health based businesses, taking away thousands more people’s informed access to, in many cases, their only readily available source of local complementary and alternative health care information.

COLORADO HEALTH SEEKERS DESERVE TO HAVE THEIR OPTIONS PROTECTED!
