Arizonans for healthcare freedom

the arizona strategy

 
 

Dr. Eric Novack, Chairman

Eric Novack, MD, is a board certified orthopedic surgeon in full time clinical practice in Glendale. 

He is chairman of Arizonans for Health Care Freedom, the group pushing for passage of the Arizona Health Care Freedom Act, which will be on the November 2010 ballot here in Arizona, and place individual liberty protections for health and health care into our state constitution.  He testified in Congress this year about the proposed health care reform bills, one of only a few physicians nationwide to do so. 

He has appeared multiple times on national cable television on CNN and Fox News, as well as multiple nationwide radio appearances.  His health care policy writings have appeared in publications including the Washington Post, Washington Times, Human Events, Politico.com, and the Washington Examiner. 

He believes strongly that unless we act, and act decisively to protect the rights of people and families to be in control of their own health and health care decisions, those rights will be sacrificed on the altar of health care reform.
