Institute for Health Freedom
The Institute for Health Freedom (IHF) was a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit think tank. It monitored and reported on national policies that were perceived as affecting citizens' freedom to choose health-care treatments and providers, and sought to bolster health privacy. The president of the IHF was Sue A. Blevins,〔('Congress Inadvertently Legalizes Sharing of Genetic Information Without Patient Consent' ) Reuters. Published May 6, 2008.

Issues promoted by the IHF included its opposition to the sharing of genetic information without patient consent,〔('Congress Inadvertently Legalizes Sharing of Genetic Information Without Patient Consent' ) Reuters. Published May 6, 2008. Accessed June 13, 2009〕 its belief that citizens should have greater privacy and control over their health information,〔('State urges people to start gathering, storing medical records on the Web' ) Sacramento Bee. Published May 20, 2008. Accessed February 8, 2009〕 and its belief that people should be free to choose not to participate in a national electronic health-records system.〔(Economic Stimulus Bill Mandates Electronic Health Records For Every Citizen Without Opt Out Or Patient Consent Provisions ) Medical News Today. Published January 24, 2009. Accessed February 8, 2009.〕 Blevins argued that the "ease of access and transferring of records electronically makes it easier to invade privacy"〔(Privacy's Guarded Prognosis ) New York Times. Published March 1, 2001. Accessed February 8, 2009.〕 and that the monitoring of diabetics without patients' consent is "a recipe for invasion of privacy."〔(New York City Starts To Monitor Diabetics ) Washington Post. Published January 11, 2006. Accessed March 16, 2009〕 She also criticised a health bill that could allow government access to personal financial records and other information, saying that it could lead to patients being less honest with their doctors in an effort to protect their medical privacy.〔(Health bill could allow government access to personal financial records ) Washington Examiner. Published August 12, 2009. Accessed August 15, 2009〕
Blevins has also expressed concern about new ways in which health records are used, saying that customers should be notified when their health information is transferred.〔(Aetna launches health info search site ) USA Today. Published March 12, 2008. Accessed March 16, 2009〕 Following the passing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Blevins, on behalf of the Institute, argued that the economic stimulus law's plans for every American to use an electronic health record and to allow those records to be sold for research and public-health purposes without patients' consent weakens individuals' control over the flow of their personal health information.〔(Economic Stimulus Law Weakens Americans' Control Over Personal Health Information ) Medical News Today. Published March 27, 2009. Accessed August 15, 2009〕 Speaking at a press conference sponsored by the Institute in 2002, Blevins said that people in the United States "will soon have to choose between health care and privacy."〔(Federal Privacy Rule: Contradiction in Terms? ) Psychiatric News. Volume 37 Number 23. Published December 6, 2002. Accessed March 18, 2009〕
