Please Cosponsor S-578

Dear Senator_____________________

I respectfully urge you to join Senator Thomas Daschle (D-SD) and Senator Trent Lott (R-MS), as a cosponsor of S-578, which was introduced April 15, 1997. The ten initial cosponsors of S-578 are Senators Harkin (D-IA), Hatch (R-UT), Grassley (R-IA), Abraham (R-MI), Reid (D-NV), Inouye (D-HI), Bacchus (D-MT), Craig (D-ID), Kempthorne (D-ID) and Thomas (R-WY). S.578 is called the Access to Medical Treatment Act (AMTA). S-578 will allow an individual to be treated by any licensed health care practitioner with any method of medical treatment the individual desires, so long as:

(1.) there is no basis to conclude that the treatment would be dangerous to the individual and
(2.) the patient if fully informed of its side effects.

The term "danger" is reasonably and carefully defined in the bill as "any negative reaction that (A) causes serious harm; (B) occurred as a result of a method of medical treatment; (C) would not otherwise have occurred; and (D) is more serious than reactions experienced with routinely used medical treatments for the same medical condition or conditions. S-578 is a freedom of choice bill. Freedom of choice is one of the bedrock principles upon which our nation rests. Permitting administration of alternative medical treatments, provided that individuals are not misled or misinformed, extends freedom of choice to the ream of medicine. Thank you in advance for cosponsoring S-578.

Sincerely Yours,

Prepared by Clinton Ray Miller, Health Freedom Legislative Advocate for the National Council For Improved Health (NCIH). Contact Miller: Box 77034, Washington, D.C. 20013; (202) 543-6441; or (704) 924-8615 (limit-1) (97-17)
