AAHF

You might remember us talking about our Questionnaire for Presidential Candidates during the summer.  In August 2007, AAHF and our PAC contacted Presidential candidates and asked them to respond the following questions.  We have already received 8 questionnaires and have met with several major campaigns (either in person or via call).

The health freedom community knows where Republican candidate, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) stands on health freedom as he’s been a tireless champion on our issues, but what about the rest?

We developed 7 probing questions asking for their view on:

• government censorship of scientific information on functional foods and dietary supplements
• the right of the practitioner to practice
• increasing NCCAM’s budget
• mandatory vaccines
• hyperbaric oxygen treatment for veterans
• research to examine “off-label” drugs and devices
• conflict of interest at the FDA

Click here to read our Questionnaire.  One campaign office (in the process of sending their questionnaire) remarked how well-crafted our questions were – we look forward to seeing their equally well-crafted responses!

We will shortly publish the responses to better help you understand how the Presidential Candidates view health freedom.
