      As government regulations increasingly encroach upon personal health care choices, patients face growing limitations on their ability to make their own decisions. In Your Body, Your Health Care, Dr. Jeffrey A. Singer validates these frustrations while presenting a bold philosophical framework for reforming the relationship between individuals, the health care system, and the state.

      Through thoughtful analysis of issues like prescription requirements, self-medication rights, harm-reduction access, and licensing laws, Dr. Singer outlines a path toward health care policy that prioritizes individual rights and adult autonomy.

      Your Body, Your Health Care

      At a time when individuals feel increasingly disenfranchised by their health care choices, Dr. Jeffrey A. Singer’s groundbreaking new book, Your Body, Your Health Care, offers a compelling vision for a future in which patients regain control over their health decisions and care. The book underscores the importance of personal autonomy, highlighting how the patient-practitioner relationship has been overshadowed in recent decades by paternalistic and overbearing government intervention.
