Would someone be willing, without any invective, to briefly relate what HR

818 proposes?

 

thanks,

I would think a lot of the thinking would be that it

would then also be helpful to those of us going to our

employers and health insurers and ask why Medicare

provides more benefits than they do.

Not sure I agree with this logic. The idea behind the bill

is to give more ops for underserved patient populations,

more patients for us and one additional benefit is that

insurance companies will start to pay in states with

no acupuncture insurance coverage. We will only become

" legit " in the area of healthcare when we are accepted

as an equal. This bill is a move in that direction. I do

support this one. Hope this helps. Thanks for the link.
