Ohio citizens, if you care about your medical freedom, now is the time to act. Ohio House Bill 73, also known as The Dave and Angie Patient and Health Provider Protection Act, is crucial for safeguarding both patients and healthcare providers from government overreach. This bill has already passed in the House with an overwhelming majority—73 affirmative votes—and now we must make sure it gets heard in the Ohio Senate. The future of healthcare freedom in Ohio depends on this bill moving forward, and we need your help to make it happen.
What HB 73 Means for You
House Bill 73 offers protections that could save lives, including your own. It guarantees patients the right to critical care and gives healthcare providers the freedom to prescribe FDA-approved treatments without fear of government interference or losing their licenses.
- Guarantees hydration and nutrition: Patients will always be entitled to receive essential care, such as food and water.
- Preserving medical speech: Health providers can prescribe off-label drugs that are FDA-approved and legal without the fear of losing their medical license.
This bill protects not only patients but also ensures that healthcare providers have the freedom to do what they believe is in the best interest of their patients. In a world of increasing government control over healthcare, HB 73 is a lifeline for medical freedom.
