HB1119 & SB1438 probibit home care agencies from providing services outside the scope of their facility license unless they are contracted with the city and county of Honolulu or Hawaii Medicaid programs. This legislation undermines personal freedom, stifles competition, and causes harm to those it claims to protect.
Why should some agencies be allowed to operate without a license while others are not? This selective regulation can lead to inconsistencies in service accountability. All providers should be subject to the same standards without the need for government control or intervention.
Clients and families should be able to make their own decisions regarding health care based on their preferences and needs, rather than being subjected to government mandates. If clients feel that a particular professional or agency does not meet their standards, they should have the freedom to seek alternatives.
HB1119 & SB1438 is a misguided approach to public health and safety. Rather than imposing regulations that restrict freedom and competition, lawmakers should focus on individual rights.
