Make Acupuncture part of the covered benefits of The Affordable Health Care Act in the State of Florida.
Why is this important?
As of January 1, 2013, Acupuncture has been removed as a covered service within the scopes of PIP (Personal Injury Protection) benefits. Acupuncture is an ancient for of medicine, proven to be very effective in treating pain and many illnesses and diseases. Governor Scott made sure this coverage was removed from PIP.
The Affordable Healthcare Act will be coming into place in Florida next year. Each state will chose the level of coverage, and what will be covered. Based on Governor's Scott track record, we may be looking at insurance companies doing business in Florida to remove the coverage for Acupuncture and other wellness and preventive services that are now covered. Please! let's make sure we have a choice in the medicine we want by making sure Governor Scott keeps acupuncture as part of main stream medicine and coverage.
