Health Freedom
 
Institute for Health Freedom

Institute for Health Freedom (IHF) is a non-profit think tank founded in 1996 to bring the issues of personal health freedom to the forefront of America's health policy debate. IHF presents the ethical and economic case for strengthening personal "health freedom" defined as "the freedom to choose one's health care providers and treatments, and to maintain confidential relationships with one's providers, without interference from government or private third parties." Founder and president Sue Blevins is a leading advocate and spokesperson for consumers' freedom to choose their health care and maintain their health privacy — including genetic privacy. Her perspectives defending health freedom and privacy rights have been cited in newspapers across the country, including the Boston Globe, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post. She is author of the book Medicare's Midlife Crisis

 

Citizen's Council on Health Care

The Citizen's Council on Health Care (CCHC) advocates for patient and physician freedom, medical innovation, and the right of citizens to a confidential patient-doctor relationship. 

 

Health Freedom for All

Health Freedom for All (HFFA) is an advocacy organization based in Columbus, Ohio, that works on issues at the state level that protect the ability to choose which method of health care is right for you and your family. Health Freedom For All (HFFA) members believe that complementary and alternative health care options should be available to all Americans; Americans should have the freedom to select the practitioner who delivers them, and states should not prohibit access to natural health services.
