Indiana citizens rise up to oppose state public health power-grab
More than a dozen people testified in opposition to Senate Bill 4, telling senators the Indiana Department of Health should not be given more power after its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic

The heads of two organizations — Hoosiers for Medical Liberty and Stand for Health Freedom — and several others testified in opposition to Indiana Senate Bill 4 last week, telling senators that they oppose the plan to take power away from county health departments and give the state more control over public health policy.
Their testimony followed the testimony of dozens of representatives of lobbying organizations, including the Indiana State Medical Association, the Indiana Rural Health Association, the Indiana School Boards Association, the Indiana Farm Bureau and the Association of Indiana Counties, all of whom supported the bill, which would impose numerous new requirements on county health departments and set up a cooperative program that would grant them millions of dollars in state funds if they agree to meet new requirements set by the state.
Senate Bill 4 is the bill that encompasses the recommendations of the Governor’s Public Health Commission, which was co-chaired by Judy Monroe, the current president of the CDC Foundation, the private arm of the CDC that is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Johnson & Johnson, Kaiser Permanente, Meta (Facebook) and many other multinational corporations.
