SEN RON JOHNSON—LEGISLATION TO LET DOCTORS BE DOCTORS WASHINGTON—On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), along with Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.), and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) introduced legislation to protect doctors, patients and prescribers. The Right to Treat Act S. 3670

will reaffirm that no federal agency has the authority to regulate the practice of medicine and that no federal law, rule, or regulation of policy will prohibit or restrict the lawful prescribing or disbursing of any FDA approved drug or Right to Try drug.
Sen. Johnson said, “The pandemic exposed the fact that many doctors no longer call the shots when it comes to treating patients, the COVID Cartel does. The COVID Cartel includes the Biden Administration, federal health agencies, Big PHARMA, mainstream media, and Big Tech. The Right to Treat Act would ensure that federal health agencies return to their proper functions of gathering and providing public health data and regulating drug safety – not telling doctors how to practice medicine. Because federal health agencies sabotaged the early treatment of COVID-19 using widely available and safe generic drugs, an untold number of people needlessly died from COVID-19. Americans and doctors should have the freedom to use fully approved drugs without fear of reprisal. It’s time to once again let doctors be doctors and allow them to fully practice medicine.”
Sen. Braun said, “Doctors, not the federal government, know their patients best. It is critical that they have the freedom to prescribe FDA-approved drugs and treatments that are the most appropriate for their patients.”
Unwind the past's mis-named "Patient's Bill of Rights" legislation.
"Insurance" agent as middle man.
What could go wrong?
Good, this needs to spread.
My main criticism of Sen. Johnson's panel was that the physicians used a number of reasons to excuse the behavior of the rank-and-file doctors in pushing COVID jabs. The behaviors of the "COVID Cartel" does not excuse the failure of individual physicians to continue recommending the vaxx without obtaining informed consent of the patients. Every one of them should be brought to justice when this is complete.
Is the AMA a Federal organization? They are one of the agencies threatening doctors if they prescribe Ivermectin to Covid patients. I assumed it was some sort of union, which wouldn't fall under this legislation. Not sure which agency has licensing power over doctors?
Physicians are licensed by the individual state boards---the AMA is a professional organization, which should not be making recommendations on treatment. AMA membership only includes an estimated 35% of practicing physicians anyway.
It's sad we live in a time that we need LEGISLATION TO LET DOCTORS BE DOCTORS!
My issue is charging the Hospitals and MD’s under the Color of Law; in that a Federal Right was denied patience. Hold the MD’s and Hospitals accountable.
Sorry. I’m sick of them introducing bills when they don’t have the power in both houses. Waste of time.
