Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF), a patient-centered national health freedom organization based in St. Paul, Minnesota, exists to protect health care choices, individualized patient care, and medical and genetic privacy rights. In 2016, CCHF launched The Wedge of Health Freedom, an initiative to transform and simplify health care in America, starting with direct payment between patients and doctors. Practices participating in The Wedge of Health Freedom agree to provide affordability, genuine care and trust that patients’ medical information will be kept private. Locations of Wedge practices can be found online.
CCHF sponsors the daily, 60-second radio feature, “Health Freedom Minute,” which airs on nearly 800 stations nationwide, including nearly 200 American Family Radio and 100 on the Bott Radio Network. Listeners can learn more about the agenda behind health care initiatives and steps they can take to protect their health care choices, rights and privacy.
