Twilas efforts led to a temporary national law requiring parental consent for research using newborn DNA and a national campaign exposing HIPAA as a data-sharing rule. She is the founder of an online nationwide directory of direct-pay practices known as The Wedge of Health Freedom (JoinTheWedge.com). She also launched the Patient Toolbox (PatientToolbox.org), an easy-to-use tool to help patients understand their options in coercive situations and to maintain control over their treatment decisions. During the Covid crisis, she initiated CCHFs Face Freedom campaign (FaceFreedom.org) and a Dont Be Bullied billboard campaign (RealRisks.org) to stop mask and vaccination mandates. Her campaign to separate Medicare enrollment from citizen access to their rightful Social Security benefits was supported by more than 44 free-market organizations nationwide. This request was successfully included in President Trumps Medicare Executive Order signed on Oct. 3, 2019.
