Why Health Freedom Is Needed In Massachusetts

Access is Restricted

because unlicensed healing practitioners can be charged criminally for practicing medicine without a license. Unlicensed health care practitioners are legally vulnerable due to overly broad and outdated statutes defining the practice of medicine.

Practice is Inhibited

because licensed practitioners providing holistic, integrative, natural or alternative services can be disciplined by their licensing boards because the services they provide might be deemed to be outside the accepted and prevailing standard of care.

Consumers Need

education about our right to access all health care options we choose for our own wellness; analysis of laws and public policy impacting this right; and creation of new laws and policies, including regulations to protect consumers.

Practitioners Need

the freedom and right to practice legally; the right to educate consumers; the freedom to make referrals to other practitioners.
