The federal government does not recognize acupuncturists as healthcare providers.
This MUST end.

My proposal is absolutely a policy change.
Medicare covers the 97810 code(Acupuncture, 1 or more needles), but they will not pay an acupuncturist to do it.

I believe we should have the option to choose where to receive our healthcare!!!
Sorry, but insurance is a business. Health insurance is more complicated than car insurance. let us look at 2022 Auto accident - there were 235M Licensed drivers, 7M auto crashes, 42.5K fatalities, 2.3M injuries. When we buy auto insurance we select our auto accident protection plan. Some drivers will carry 25K in auto liability limits and some will carry over a million is insurance limits. If the auto insurance company pays an average of 100K for fatality injury and 50K for a non-fatality injury and 25K for property damage then the insurance company needs to collect 627B to pay for the 6M crashes. Each driver will pay $2,700.00 for their auto insurance. (based on my coverage limits and non-accident history I pay 6K a year) but there is only a 2.5% chance that I will make a claim during the policy period. The insurance company uses the car insurance to pay to cover the crash claims of other drivers. I would have to drive my car for 40 years to reach a 100% probity of being involved in crash. In this example I would pay about 108K for auto coverage over 40 years. If I had no auto coverage but had a crash that killed a person than I could be liable for 100K in damage.
Similar principles apply to health insurance - a lot of people will pay for health insurance that 10 percent of the insured population will use.
The health insurance company must project how many of its covered lives will use their health insurance in a given year and what will they use it to cover, a wellness visit, cancer, heart conditions, high blood pressure, etc.
Every covered life pays for coverage but not every covered life will be diagnosed with cancer, a heart condition, and auto immune disease. As the population ages and become frail and exposed to diseases the more each person must pay for their health insurance protection. If all the covered lives were a nursing home residents where utilization the coverage is 100% how much must each resident pay for their use of health insurance. America, as a nation is sick - listen to Robert Kennedy Jr. Americans today or sick and there are no drugs that will cure what is wrong with our medical system. We are each responsible for our health and if he buy health care insurance we are also paying for the 35M people who will use their health insurance during the year. Now add a surprise illness which will call covid19. Now instead of 35M people use their coverage we have 100M, 200M needing to use their health insurance. Where does health insurance company get the money needed to this Plandemic?
This is currently available. If youâre interested let me know and Iâll send you information
We must have our own healthcare choice- I donât need Pharma drugs I need herbs and theyâre more money than I care to share when I cannot harvest myself. Theyâre not tax deductible but better yet- ABOLISH THE IRS BC TAXES ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL
so these herbs should grow everywhere, free for picking!
I played a bit around with the app âflora icognitaâ - Iâve yet to find a plant which has no medicinal use, at all!
This! Please make holistic medicine mainstream again. Get the WHO and elites out of our health. Mainstream western medicine is a sick model money grabâŚat our expense. Please encourage more studies on natural remedies, like the GAPS diet, for autoimmune diseases. Make my insurance company cover alternative treatments. Thank you!

I agree. There should be that option for those who choose holistic, natural medicine. im post transplant (kidney)starting my 35th year. i was born with polycystic kidney disease(hereditary) one of the anti-rejection meds i take is a steroid and it got grandfathered in and it does horrible things to me along with the other one. they wont let me off of it. some possible holistic things i could do to help myself i cant take cause i cant take it with that medicine. I feel trapped in this sick-care system. They can put people into space , but cant come up with a way to help transplant recipients not have to take meds. some years ago i heard of a synthetic kidney possibly being developed-still waiting. these meds are hurting me alot.

Bio Identical therapies are still a synthetic and not a great option for true healing. I offer as a functional medicine practitioner herbal combinations that heal the body and in turn allow the body to heal properly and do what it is innately designed to do. There are cases where a person would âneedâ synthetics, where the current system has Killed via radiation or other means (removal) part of the system that creates hormones with in the body.
I know a man who used to work for the insurance companies, his job was to analyze your records that your Dr keeps and by design he can tell you to the very month based on Diagnosis and prescriptions when you will die.
He left that job and now advocates for natural healing and herbal remedies. We can make a huge difference in healing. I personally offer DNA testing that I can see over 1500 snips of information, you can never change your DNA but you do have a choice weather that âhot Spotâ of genetically passed down Cancer gene is activated or lays dormant. It is all in how you live and the choices you make to put it very simply.
You do have choices and very few people realize it! We need the opportunity to educate people and turn this whole thing around by offering the choice.
I will support this and anything similar, stop this mockery the drug and insurance industry has made of our healthcare system
