U.S. Rep. Bachmann Releases the People’s
Declaration of Health Freedom

(St. Paul/Minneapolis) – After Congresswoman Michele Bachmann released her Declaration of Health Care Independence this afternoon, Citizens’ Council on Health Care released the following statement.

“The Declaration declares what the people of America in town halls and tea parties having been asking for from Congress: “We demand Constitutional protection of the right to make our own health decisions and our own healthcare choices free of government denials, bureaucratic red tape and greater intergenerational debt.”

“As majority members of Congress consider a Plan B for bringing government-run health care to America, and before President Obama uses his State of the Union to push such a plan, this Declaration stands in opposition to any such plan.

“These ‘rules of the road’ as Congresswoman Michele Bachmann stated at her press conference this afternoon should stand as a steady guide and a strong guardrail against the imposition of socialized medicine as passed by Congress in 2009.”
