HB 73 Helping Ohio Patients Get Real Informed Consent From Their Doctors

We received a request from a Lake County patriot to publish this call to action:

From the “X” account of Dr. Scott Jensen:

**HELP OHIO save the Health Provider provisions of HB 73, so Ohio doctors can give their patients REAL informed consent!*** FLCCC Senior Fellow

Last week, Ohio Senator Steve Huffman, MD and Senate President Matt Huffman discarded the People’s version of HB 73 that passed the Ohio house with 75 bi-partisan votes. Instead, they passed a version that ensures pharmacists can continue to obstruct the filling of a doctor’s prescription and limit medical free speech, so that Ohio doctors will have to decide between giving their patients fully informed consent and treatment options, or potentially facing loss of licensure.

How you can help: Ask the Ohio Senate to protect the licenses and free speech of Ohio doctors. Please see the call to action in comments!

How you can help… Please send the following email to Senators Steve Huffman and Matt Huffman:

“Senators Steve Huffman and Matt Huffman and members of the Ohio Senate, Please adopt one of the two proposed Conference committee versions of HB 73 from Representative Gross!

One only saves the provisions of the bill protecting a health provider’s ability to prescribe off-label drugs for their patients and have the freedom of medical speech to be able to give truly informed consent to their patients without fear of losing their license, and the better version also includes patient access to hospital off-label treatment options without the disastrous loophole that was passed in the Senate version. Let’s make sure that sick patients like Dave & Angie can actually have a chance to be saved!

Thank you,
[Your Name]”
