Please write your Members of Congress and ask them to support HR 419. This good bill, sponsored by Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21), would stop U.S. taxpayer dollars from funding the World Health Organization (WHO). As demonstrated by the WHO response to COVID-19, the organization is not only ineffective, but pushes policies and agendas that are harmful to American patients […]
Rhode Island Senator Sam Bell has introduced Senate Bill 2552, that if passed, would impose perhaps the most heavy-handed vaccine mandate in the nation. “The Senator’s proposed legislation mandates COVID-19 vaccination for children, in addition to adults,” explains Dr. Andrew Bostrom. He continues, “Blind pediatric covid-19 vaccine zealotry is epitomized by Rhode Island State Senator Sam Bell’s punitively mandatory vaccination bill.” […]
Dear AAPS Members and Friends, On March 31, 2022 members of the U.S. House of Representatives congratulated themselves for passing a bill, HR 6833 (S 3700 in the Senate), they incorrectly claim will reduce the cost of livesaving insulin. It’s a “phony solution,” according to the WSJ. In reality, the bill does nothing to lower the actual price of the drug. Instead, […]
The ongoing shortage of post-graduate residency program slots means thousands of medical school graduates, through no fault of their own, fail to match with a position. These “unmatched grads” are left every year with extremely limited options while they wait to apply again the following year. Missouri has been a leader in allowing these skilled […]
Dear AAPS Members and Friends in Arizona, Your help is needed to stop a bad bill that removes your control over your own personal health information that is set to receive a vote in the Arizona State Senate. If passed, Senate Bill 1167 (House companion bill HB 2100) would ensconce into Arizona statute aspects of the Governor’s Executive Order 2022-02 that are detrimental […]
Thanks to your help, SB 1184 was approved in a hearing by the Florida State Senate Committee on Health Policy, and the Florida House subcommittee on Professions & Public Health approved the House companion bill, HB 687. Despite these wins, the deadlines for completing the committee process have come and gone without achieving the approvals needed for the standalone bills […]
A dangerous bill, AB 2098, has been introduced in the California legislature, that if passed, will punish physicians who seek to publicly speak out about issues that directly impact their patients’ well-being. For example, under AB 2098, physicians who advocate for the potential benefits of early treatment with off-label drugs, or who ask questions about COVID vaccine safety, […]
Despite federal rules that now require hospitals to post prices, many facilities are refusing to disclose their rates. The bottom line is that this lack of transparency hurts patient access to affordable care. That’s why HB 481 has been introduced in the Virginia General Assembly. It is a simple bill that aims to make the federal rules part […]
Greetings AAPS Members and Friends in Arizona, This Wednesday morning, Feb. 9, at 8:30am, the Arizona State Senate Health and Human Services Committee will be holding a hearing that will include discussion on a number of important bills that affect patients and doctors across the state. Bills of interest include: SB1016 (Sen. Townsend) would prohibit pharmacies from refusing to […]
Dear AAPS Members and Friends, There have been increasing reports of patients being kicked off organ transplant lists because they have refused COVID vaccination. To put a stop to this violation of basic medical ethics against some of the most vulnerable patients, Rep. Ben Cline (VA-6) has introduced H.R. 6534 (text, status, press release), the Stop Arduous Vaccine Enforcement (SAVE) Act […]
