Ep. 637 REAL ID with Twila Brase, RN, PHN

Shawn & Janet Needham, R.Ph. have Twila Brase on the podcast to discuss REAL ID. Twila Brase is co-founder and president of Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF), a national patient- centered, privacy-focused, free-market, 501(c)3 health freedom policy organization launched in 1998 to protect patient and doctor freedom. She is author of the eight-time award-winning book Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth about Electronic Health Records (Beaver’s Pond Press, 2018), which is now in its fourth printing. During the Covid crisis, she initiated CCHF’s Face Freedom campaign (FaceFreedom.org) and a “Don’t Be Bullied: Make an Informed Choice” billboard campaign (RealRisks.org) to stop face mask and vaccination mandates. For 15 years, Twila has produced the “Health Freedom Minute,” heard weekdays by more than 5 million listeners on approximately 870 radio stations in 47 states. She provides testimony at state legislatures, meets with members of Congress and health care policymakers, conducts original research, speaks around the country, and has been featured or quoted by CNN, Forbes, Fox News, Fox Business, Nature, NBC Today, Politico, Science, Star Tribune, THE HILL, The Epoch Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and more. In 2019, Twila was selected as one of 18 leaders (out of more than 300 applicants) to participate in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Quality Summit, which met three times in Washington, D.C. Their discussions were used to provide President Trump with a roadmap for restructuring federal “quality measurement” programs. Since 2017, her efforts have stopped the Unique Patient ID each year. In 2022, she testified before the Wyoming legislature, and in 2023, her work led to the Montana passage of the nation’s strongest state genetic privacy law.
