SECTION 1. TITLE

This Act shall be known as the “Human Health Restoration Act of South Dakota.”

SECTION 2. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES

The Legislature of South Dakota finds and declares that:

1. The health of a citizen is not a commodity—it is a right tied to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United States.
   
2. The modern American medical system, as presently structured, is driven not by health outcomes, but by profit models based on perpetual treatment, insurance billing schemes, and pharmaceutical dependency.
   
3. Many modern medicines are chemical derivatives or petroleum by-products developed not for healing, but for managing chronic disease for lifelong subscription.
   
4. South Dakota citizens are facing a health crisis not of access, but of authenticity—where the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the chemicals we consume are contributing more to disease than curing it.
   
5. True healing must return to the hands of the people—through nourishment, natural care, transparency, and the freedom to choose how we steward our bodies.
   

SECTION 3. CREATION OF THE SOUTH DAKOTA CITIZEN HEALTH CHARTER

There is hereby established a statutory framework called the Citizen Health Charter, guaranteeing that:

1. No person in South Dakota shall be denied access to life-affirming, affordable care due to their inability to pay a private intermediary.
   
2. Every South Dakotan shall have the legal right to pursue health through nutrition, movement, environment, spirituality, and natural or alternative treatments without interference from federal, pharmaceutical, or insurance actors.
   
3. The State shall recognize the legitimacy of natural medicine, traditional healing practices, and whole-food-based therapy when administered with informed consent.
   
4. The State affirms that the preservation of health is a higher obligation than the treatment of illness.
   

SECTION 4. PROHIBITION OF PROFITEERING IN PUBLIC HEALTH

1. No state funds shall be used to subsidize institutions, corporations, or plans that derive more than 50% of their revenue from billing for recurring treatments without curative intent.
   
2. Any healthcare provider that engages in price inflation, surprise billing, or pharmaceutical kickbacks shall be subject to suspension of licensing in the state.
   
3. The sale of citizen health data to private companies shall be prohibited. Violators shall be fined up to $1,000,000 and banned from future medical operations in the state.
   

SECTION 5. CREATION OF HEALTH FREEDOM ZONES

1. Any South Dakota county or municipality may opt into a Health Freedom Zone, which shall permit:
   
• Non-FDA-approved but peer-reviewed nutritional or therapeutic practices
  
• Farm-to-patient herbal remedies, raw dairy, mineral-based compounds, and regenerative treatments
  
• Wellness clinics based on prevention, spiritual care, physical vitality, and community support
  
2. These zones shall be shielded from federal interference under the Tenth Amendment and governed by local boards of practitioners, patients, and citizen-elected stewards.
   

SECTION 6. DECOUPLING HEALTHCARE FROM INSURANCE MIDDLEMEN

1. A Direct Patient Care Protection Act shall be established wherein:
   
• Patients may pay providers directly for services without requiring coding or insurance intermediaries
  
• Providers who opt out of insurance billing shall be granted tax incentives and legal immunity from third-party pricing disputes
  
• All medical providers shall be required to publish real, itemized service pricing online
  

SECTION 7. LICENSING AND RECOGNITION OF ALTERNATIVE PRACTITIONERS

1. The Department of Health shall establish a licensing board for:
   
• Nutritional therapists
  
• Herbalists
  
• Chiropractors, osteopaths, acupuncturists
  
• Indigenous and faith-based healers (with community verification)
  
2. No citizen shall be penalized for seeking health support outside of the pharmaceutical-industrial model.
   

SECTION 8. FOOD IS MEDICINE ACT (INTEGRATED CLAUSE)

1. State-funded institutions—schools, prisons, elder care, and hospitals—shall be required to provide meals that are:
   
• Free of synthetic dyes, seed oils, ultra-processed preservatives, and excessive added sugars
  
• Prioritizing local, regenerative ingredients and ancestral dietary patterns
  
2. A South Dakota Nutrition Standard shall be codified based on research in anti-inflammatory, mineral-rich, and traditionally restorative foods.
   

SECTION 9. FUNDING MECHANISM

1. Funds for this Act shall come from:
   
• Reallocation of state subsidies currently awarded to large hospital systems or insurers
  
• A 5% tax on pharmaceutical sales within the state, except for lifesaving or emergency medications
  
• Voluntary participation in the South Dakota Mutual Care Fund—a cooperative citizen health pool
  

SECTION 10. SEVERABILITY AND SOVEREIGNTY

1. If any provision of this Act is found in conflict with federal law, South Dakota shall assert its sovereign rights under the Tenth Amendment and challenge said conflict in the Supreme Court if necessary.
   
2. If any portion of this Act is held invalid, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.
   

SECTION 11. ENACTMENT

This Act shall take effect 90 days after passage and shall be entered into the South Dakota Codified Laws under Title 34.

✳️ Optional Closing Language for Outreach

“In South Dakota, we believe that real healing does not come from a bottle, a billing code, or a bureaucrat—it comes from nature, nourishment, and neighborly care.”

Would you like me to move on to Clean Food Sovereignty, the Elder Justice Act, or a formatted booklet version for distribution and website use?

No problem at all—you didn’t stop anything. You’re leading the charge, and I’m right here with you.

Would you like me to continue with the next pillar’s legislation (maybe Clean Food Sovereignty or Mental Health & Addiction Reform), or revisit/refine anything in the Healthcare Restoration Act?

Just say the word and we’ll keep rolling.

Absolutely—here’s a full pillar-style description of your Healthcare Reform, using your movement’s tone and message structure:

✅ Pillar: Healthcare Reform – Restore the Right to Real Healing

✳️ Why This Is Needed

The healthcare system isn’t broken—it’s functioning exactly as it was built: to profit from sickness, not to cure it.

Our doctors are drowning in paperwork, our people are buried in bills, and our “treatments” come from laboratories that manufacture chemicals out of petroleum, synthetic hormones, and artificial preservatives. Meanwhile, real healing—through food, rest, minerals, movement, and faith—is mocked, ignored, or outlawed.

Insurance companies decide what your life is worth. Big Pharma decides what your body needs. And the government plays referee with your future.

This isn’t medicine.
This is disease management.

🌱 What We Could Have

A system that puts health before profit.

South Dakotans could choose care rooted in nature, in truth, and in personal sovereignty—not billing codes and side effects. We could protect the right to natural healing, open “Health Freedom Zones” for real practitioners, and cut out the middlemen that inflate prices and obscure choice.

We could feed our people healing food, license natural medicine, and restore the relationship between citizen and healer—not patient and corporation.

We could be the first state in the union where people get well—and stay well—without being turned into a monthly revenue stream.

🛠 How We Achieve It

• Establish a Citizen Health Charter guaranteeing access to natural, affordable care.
  
• Outlaw price gouging, pharmaceutical kickbacks, and data sales.
  
• Create Health Freedom Zones for alternative medicine, raw foods, and traditional healing.
  
• Remove insurance from the doctor-patient relationship via direct care protections.
  
• License and protect herbalists, nutritional therapists, and spiritual healers.
  
• Mandate real food in hospitals, schools, and elder care—with no fake additives or junk contracts.
  
• Tax Big Pharma—not families—to fund the transition.
  
• Assert South Dakota’s sovereign right to health under the 10th Amendment.
  

Real healing is not a service. It’s a sacred right. And in South Dakota, we’re going to protect it.
