Acupuncture in the News

July 16, 2009

As you may be aware, President Barack Obama has made health care reform a significant legislative priority for his administration. His goals include preventive care, wellness, expanding coverage, lowering costs and patient choice. His emphasis on preventive medicine and wellness, along with affordability, creates an exceptional opportunity for our profession which so clearly meets each of the criteria that he has identified as important in his reform effort. Please visit the Obama Administration’s website for the latest information about his health care reform initiative.

President Obama has stated that he wants health care reform to be addressed by the United States Congress before the summer recess in August and that a bill should be ready for consideration by September 2009. It is time to make your voice heard. Enclosed is a sample letter that we encourage you to personalize and send to your legislative representatives.

This is your opportunity to effect change and make acupuncture and Oriental medicine a part of the new health care reform which will benefit friends and family around the United States.
