  abstract: Lewis A. Grossman examines the concept of freedom of therapeutic choice in the United States. He presents a compelling look at how persistent but evolving notions of a right to therapeutic choice have affected American policy and law from the Revolution through the Trump Era. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of activists and lawyers resisting a variety of government limits on therapeutic choice, including medical licensing statutes, FDA bans on unapproved drugs and alternative remedies, abortion restrictions, and prohibitions against medical marijuana and physician-assisted suicide. He further considers the widespread opposition to state-compelled health measures like vaccines and face masks.
