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My access to traditional healers and practitioners is now threatened because of outdated Colorado laws that give exclusive rights to small numbers of state licensed professionals to engage in all aspects of the healing arts and make it a crime for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 !!!
