CENTER FOR INQUIRY, INC. OFFICE OF PUBLIC POLICY

The Office of Public Policy (OPP) lobbied in favor of greater federal regulation of homeopathy and homeopathic products. OPP responded to the Senate Appropriation Committee's call for lessened regulation of this pseudoscience, and argued in favor of more FDA involvement.

CFI's Office of Public Policy lobbied in favor of the "Health Share Transparency Act." CFI lobbied for additional co-sponsors to join the Act, which would increase federal regulation of health care sharing ministries. These ministries are alternative health insurance arrangements based on shared religious community, but they frequently provide insufficient coverage and leave patients vulnerable to costly medical bills to be paid out of pocket.
