HHS Proposed Regulation

Email To A Friend
The Bush administration on August 21 formally proposed a new federal regulation expanding the refusal rights of individuals and institutions in the health care field that object to providing or assisting in the provision of services that offend their religious beliefs or moral convictions.

A key problem is that the proposal would for the first time expand health care providers’ refusal rights to include the provision of information on topics and treatments that they find objectionable. This seriously undermines the traditional ethical and legal obligation to give patients complete information on their medical options, so as to enable them to provide informed consent.
