In August 2009, Modern Healthcare named her #75 on their “100 Most Powerful People in Healthcare” list. The Council initiated a billboard campaign that went viral in March 2014 (“Obamacare Games: Where the odds are never in your favor – Refusetoenroll.org”). CCHF also helped 34 states refuse Obamacare exchanges, stopped government-issued treatment directives, added consent requirements for access to patient data, drawn national awareness to state storage and use of newborn DNA without consent, which led to lawsuits in IN, MN and TX and led to a federal parent consent law for research using newborn DNA. In June 2016, CCHF launched The Wedge of Health Freedom to build a free-trade zone of direct-pay practices.
In October 2013, Ms. Brase received the 2013 Eagle Forum’s Eagle Award for Minnesota. In September 2014, she received the “Freedom of Informed Choice Award” at the Sacred Fire of Liberty Gala in Maryland.
Ms. Brase’s “Health Freedom Minute” is heard on more than 800 radio stations in 47 states. She provides testimony at state legislatures, meets with members of Congress, and speaks around the country.
Inside this book, discover:
- how Congress forced doctors to install surveillance in the exam room
- hard facts from over 125 studies and reports about the impact of EHRs on medical care, costs, patient safety, and more
- how patient treatment decisions are controlled (and tracked) by the EHR
- what specific steps back to freedom, privacy, and patient safety are available, and why we must act now.
