Despite a rollercoaster year in 2020 that jeopardized many health freedoms for Americans, National Health Freedom Action focused on work to maintain and reclaim our individual rights.  NHFA accomplished much during this impactful year.

Throughout 2020 we walked side by side weekly with Wisconsin and Massachusetts health freedom leaders, offering our guidance in their efforts to pass Safe Harbor Practitioner Exemption Legislation, protecting the right of homeopaths, herbalists, traditional naturopaths and many complementary and alternative health care practitioners to practice and be available to consumers.  Both states made it almost to the finish line, and then found out at the end of 2020 that they will need to start all over in 2021 due to the pandemic legislative calendars.  We are so grateful for their work and will continue our work with them and support their efforts to eventual success.

The outcry of resistance to the coercive countermeasures impacting our freedoms and concern about vaccine mandates moved us to collaborate with California Health Coalition Advocacy to help spearhead the Right to Refuse Legislation Movement. Our national model language for Right to Refuse, protecting the right of each individual to make their own health care decisions, was shared nation-wide. NHFA met with leaders from eight launching states to organize and discuss going forward in each state to protect these fundamental rights.

2021 promises to be a year of change and new beginnings. Americans are waking up to the fact that their health freedoms are essential and in grave need of protection. NHFA plans to be a key player in guiding groups that are working to pass Right to Refuse/Right to Choose legislation, protecting the fundamental right of all people to make their own health care decisions and to prohibit governments and corporations from prohibiting employment, travel, education and much more, and from coercing Americans into health care decisions that they might otherwise decline.

In addition, we plan to continue vigorously supporting and helping to guide groups in many states to pass Safe Harbor Practitioner Exemption laws, that will protect the right of homeopaths, herbalists, traditional naturopaths and all complementary and alternative health care practitioners to practice and have their services be available to all Americans.
