Ta inicjatywa ustawodawcza to nowelizacja przede wszystkim Kodeksu karnego, ale także nowelizacja ustawy o prawach pacjenta i Rzeczniku praw pacjenta. Ta nowelizacja dotyczy czterech obszarów: - chirurgiczne i precyzyjne uderzenie we wszystkich oszustów, którzy żerują na ludzkiej krzywdzie, a z drugiej strony pełna ochrona przedsiębiorców z branży zielarskiej, dietetycznej, czy medycyny komplementarnej; - skuteczna i bezwględna eliminacja szarlatanów z rynków; - modelu decydowania o tym, czy dane praktyki są zgodne z prawem czy nie; - rozwiązanie Prezydenta daje gwarancję wolności debaty naukowej i swobód obywatelskich, wyklucza penalizację poglądów i opinii. #LexSzarlatan #PrawaPacjenta #OchronaZdrowia
