I have appreciated the efforts of Michigan Healthcare Freedom so much! They truly understand that healthcare is individual and therefore the choices that we all have to make for our health are individual. They stay in top.if legislation that may affect our decisions and provide clear call-to-action steps to ensure we can discuss these topics with our legislators to have our voices heard. The workers out in countless hours to benefit many, many who are simply too overwhelmed to do the footwork. I appreciate their efforts for the good of all!

Michigan Healthcare Freedom is the best when it comes to information we need about our healthcare community. They empower people to research and question. When medical care is the second leading cause of death, and new medicines and vaccines are introduced and fast tracked, it is good to know that you do have a choice and MHF helps me make those choices and take action legislatively when needed.

This site provides everyone with incredible insights into individually specific healthcare issues, but also about issues one may not have even realized are beneficial to them. It also offers a concise guide to know how each person is elected officials vote on such issues. A truly valuable resource.

I met Abigail Noble while campaigning for a state senatorial candidate, and for myself for precinct delegate. I learned that Abigail too was/had been a precinct delegate from a neighboring precinct. Over time, I learned of her efforts to start MHF (Michigan Healthcare Freedom) out of her love for freedom and her concern for establishing/returning healthcare freedom to the people of Michigan, where it belongs.

As the result of her actions, and a level of dedication and work not often seen, MHF has become a strong and well known voice for healthcare freedom. Abigail has testified at many legislative hearings with regards to healthcare and has made a very positive impact on the awareness, discussion and legislation of healthcare in Michigan.

Until Abigail started MHF, legislative issues pertaining to healthcare weren't something to which I paid any attention. Due to MHF's basis in freedom and the relevance of healthcare to us all, both as an issue unto itself and as it pertains to freedom in general, I am now much more aware and involved with the importance of healthcare and healthcare legislation. Without Abigail's efforts and the subsequent, positive impact on healthcare freedoms, Michiganders would likely be far worse off than we realize.

I strongly recommend MHF as a very worthy non-profit.

Michigan Healthcare Freedom is such a good resource for getting pertinent, reliable and accurate healthcare information. I love it that members can come with their health questions and concerns, knowing they will be taken seriously and with respect. The stories posted are heartfelt and sincere. The humor posts come as a welcome relief at times. MHF is fighting for our healthcare freedoms, both personal and on the legal battlefield. I highly recommend availing yourself of this important resource.

I stay informed about Michigan health care laws and legislation by reading Abigail's site. I can tell she does extensive research and makes sure her information is solid and accurate. She answers questions in a timely manner. I appreciate her knowledge and experience in the medical field and politics. I highly recommend looking up her Michigan Healthcare Freedom site.

A valuable feature of Michigan Healthcare Freedom is the Community Forum which covers health-related articles that have a direct impact on Michigan residents and the nation's citizens. For example, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra openly stated that his cabinet will withhold funding or reimbursements from Catholic hospitals if they refuse to perform transgender surgeries. (from post on May 2024) This is a violation of the guaranteed 1st Amendment Right. Newsworthy articles like this may be somewhat concealed in popular media; however, these have found their way to Community Forum for readers' perusal.

Michigan Healthcare Freedom is the single organization in Michigan dedicated to reducing the onerous government bureaucracy which stifles today's health care. Their forum, web page, and Facebook page provide Michiganders with up-to-date news on all aspects of government healthcare policy, as well as the industry's efforts to maximize the profits extracted from healthcare.

Every other organization in Michigan addressing healthcare seeks to expand the heavy hand of government and/or the power of the industry. The problem is that they rarely agree and the Michigan government then attempts to accommodate all these pressure groups simultaneously. The net result is a Rube Goldberg healthcare apparatus which consumes 20% of GDP (the most expensive in the world) and provides third world care.

Every State needs their own Michigan Healthcare Freedom!

As a mitten state resident, I have been paying close attention to the MHF site that is focused on health care policy issues and how they relate to the worrying loss of healthcare choice. The tyranny of the healthcare establishment during the Covid fiasco has convinced me that the Michigan Healthcare Freedom is a huge proponent of sound healthcare choices and the governmental policies that severly restrict true healthcare freedom. Abigail has made me a smarter healthcare consumer and also a proponent for better policies from Lansing.

I am an LPN and have worked at a hospital in the Grand Rapids area for over 20 years. I have been increasingly concerned about the direction our health care is going. Bills are being voted on that would profit large monopolies, but infringe on individual freedoms. I was so glad that MHF made me aware of a recent bill on Compacts that would take away an individual's right to vote for the elected officials that control licensing laws. We need to keep LARA accountable. I was able to contact my local Senator and Representative to vote NO on Compacts.
I trust the information from MHF, knowing that it is well researched for accuracy. I appreciate the hard work, honest integrity, and caring heart that MHF portrays.
Thanks, MHF, for keeping us informed and speaking up in Lansing and recently at an Ottawa Patriots meeting for our health care freedoms.

Michigan Healthcare Freedom (MHF) is a great resource for reading and researching news of what’s happening in Lansing regarding healthcare, what the legislature and the governor are doing, and how this impacts us as individual patients or workers in the healthcare system. I appreciate the perspective of MHF, based on conservative principles, pointing out how big government, its agencies, and special interest groups seek ever-greater power and control over our healthcare. These entities work to gain more control in our lives which actually drives up costs, all in the name of better care. Therefore, MHF is an important voice that needs to be heard as it advocates for individual freedom and helps to educate the general public as well as elected officials.

This is an endorsement for what Michigan Healthcare Freedom (MHF) is doing. I have been a consumer of the news and information that MHF has distributed via e-mail and social media and find that it is very credible.

MHF provides information that relies on the U.S. Constitution, as well as trends in the health care field, as its foundation. There can be little question that in the past 20 -25 years, and especially since 2010, the freedom that doctors and patients have had has been seriously eroded. With the advent of Obamacare, a loud minority in the U.S. demanded that socialized medicine replace the private healthcare delivery system across the country. MHF has good information to alert the public that there are other considerations to know.

George Washington told us over 200 years ago that, "Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.."

A basic principle says that the more government there is, the less individual freedom there is. And in health care, the loss of individual freedom in the Patient-Provider transaction degrades the level of healthcare service in this country.

The current trajectory of health care in the U.S. is going the wrong way - 1) Prices and costs for everything in health care are skyrocketing while everyone in the industry pleads poverty, and 2) the quality and timeliness of the services provided are declining. That's a hallmark of socialized medicine systems around the world.

It is a complex issue, but MHF is providing good, sound and clear information about it. If enough people can get the information, hopefully changes can be made to reverse our socialized medicine system and restore freedom once more to the Patient-Provider transaction! I am certain that doing so will make the tiny percentage of people at the tip top of the industry poorer, but it will drive down the obscene cost of health care while driving the level of health care services.

Michigan Healthcare Freedom needs to be encouraged in pursuing its mission to get good, credible information out to the public.

Michigan Health Freedom is a wonderful group of like minded individuals that empowers Medical freedoms and rights. I feel it enables more people to be informed on vaccines and other medical choices. It is a strong platform for people who are opposed to mandates in health care to have a clear voice. It is a outreach of valuable truth to people who might not understand what choice they need to make about certain mandates that are unnecessarily being forced apon them. I like that it empowers collectively like minded efforts to go against pharmaceutical giants and expose the truth. The group speaks strongly against government over reach. I am excited this group is growing since it will surely help everyone have better health outcomes.

So appreciate the health-related education, particularly regarding proposals and bills in our state's senate/house, supplied by Michigan Healthcare Freedom. My family and I learned so much from the legislator score card. The HEAL Michigan 2022 project for continued education and accountability within legislation will so very helpful, as it progresses. No one else is doing this for MI citizens!!! I strongly believe we have the right to investigate all options and choose responsibly when it comes to our health and our health care. My husband lived with colon cancer for 21.5 years -- he wisely chose alternatives that would build his immune system. Two oncologist praised him for changing his lifestyle and studying all options. We need to see more professionals in the medical field support the patient in this manner. MI Healthcare Freedom is a huge step in the right direction, advancing the cause for the patient and his/her family.

Michigan Healthcare Freedom is a great organization that does many things for the Michigan consumer. MHF provides information on insurance coverage costs and suggestions on how to choose the best group for you.
MHF also keeps us in the know by highlighting Healthcare Headlines World Wide. Information is also provided about recalls of medical equipment, medications and general household items that have been recalled.
Michigan Healthcare Freedom also provides information on changes made to the Michigan Healthcare Code and how those changes affect the general population. Additionally MHF supplies information regarding educational offerings from other agencies and how to access those presentatios.
All in all, there's a huge amount of information useful to medical professionals and consumers to be garnered from this organization. Especially helpful as elections approach is the Report Card which provides information on how each member of the Michigan Legislature has voted on healthcare issues.

MHF is by far the go to organization for all information on current healthcare legislation and the effects of government medeling in areas it has no knowledge in therefore no business legislating over. MHF shows over and over how government overreach costs taxpayers money and reduces the quality of care that is possible but stifled by protocols and regulations. Having first met Abigail when I ran for office in 2014, she has been my depth of knowledge in all medical legislative issues as understood by someone who is actually a practioner in the field not a lobbyist. While MHF does lobby government it is done from the patient standpoint for a better outcome for the patient through medicine not through lobbying to make money for one company over another. A nonprofit organization that actually puts their knowledge on the line to better the human experience through life is by far the primary purpose of a nonprofit and this is what Michigan Healthcare Freedom does. Education to effect a better outcome. Priceless.

In these days, when so much opinion masquerades as fact, it's refreshing to find an actual source of accurate information. Michigan Healthcare Freedom is just that. The facts about healthcare in Michigan are buried under layers of legislation and regulations. Between the medical terminology and the legal jargon, it's difficult for an ordinary person like me to get through it all to an understanding of what's really going on. Abigail's medical background and education in public policy equips her to do the digging and get to the truth of things. In addition, she's a real stickler about making sure that what's presented has been verified. Having the facts is the first step to having freedom. I can't say enough good about the vital public service this organization provides.

Michigan Healthcare Freedom’s emphasis on government policies that negatively impact the public’s healthcare options, has never been needed more than now. When people are given free market choice to manage their health, using their dollars to their greatest need, the true need and associated value becomes evident pretty rapidly. Our current system profits bureaucrats and large companies to the detriment of a healthier population. Michigan Healthcare Freedom fills a void through independent research and assessment, that brings an alternative philosophy, and advocacy.

Abigail has created a space to learn about what POLICY is as well as how to start being active in policy. She has also created a space to explore what HEALTH FREEDOM means and looks like from both a conventional care model and as well as the non-allopathic modalities.

In this age of insurers taking control of our healthcare and streamlining processes that rarely actually benefit individuals, it is more important than ever to be aware of our healthcare freedoms and policies that impact this most personal area of all of our lives. Michigan Healthcare Freedom is a wonderful resource and support to help navigate and expose areas of healthcare that are doing more harm than good and help formulate collective efforts to expand true healthcare freedom in Michigan.
