This "option" would reduce my access to homeopathic products.
This proposal also represents a violation of my basic human right to access homeopathic health products for myself and my family within the pharmaceutical setting.

I have successfully utilised Homeopathic remedies in the treatment of routine first aid and everyday coughs and colds for myself and my children for over forty years. They are not only cost effective for me, but also save the Australian government and the Australian community the pharmaceutical subsidy I could have accessed through mainstream medical options.
In my view this is not an enlightened option; rather it is limiting, constrictive and exclusive.
Thank you!
