Some folks in Arizona want to make sure that no one takes away their freedom of choice when it comes to health care. On November 4th, Arizona will vote on Proposition 101. The measure, called the Freedom of Choice in Health Care Act, would amend the state constitution to include language restricting Arizona’s ability to limit or dictate individual health-care choices, and to make government-mandated universal health care illegal. Here is the language of the Proposition:
Because all people should have the right to make decisions about their health care, no law shall be passed that restricts a person’s freedom of choice of private health care systems or private plans of any type. No law shall interfere with a person’s or entity’s right to pay directly for lawful medical services, nor shall any law impose a penalty or fine, or any type, for choosing to obtain or decline health care coverage or for participation in any particular health care system or plan.
