Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 How about all of you in the USA, call your senators and tell them to get off their arses, or more likely out of the pockets of the AMA and big pharma, and get this thing out of commitee and vote for this thing. F.: " Greg Moore " Thu, 31 Jul 2003 14:35:21 -0400 FYI Senate Proposes Increased Access to Alternative Treatments Legislators again look to open consumer access to a wider variety of therapies with the re-introduction of the Access to Medical Treatment Act (S. 1410) into the 108th Congress. The bill, introduced in three other Congresses, seeks to “permit an individual to be treated by a health care practitioner with any method of medical treatment such individual requests.” The bill would broaden the parameters for access to integrative healing practices that go beyond the scope of conventional medical practices and give consumers enhanced freedom to choose the therapies and practitioners of their choice. Sponsor: Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) Co-Sponsors: Sen. Tom Daschle (D-SD), Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), Sen Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI) Status: 7/15/2003 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
