Reduce the amount Vermonters and Vermont’s employers pay for health care by passing H.64 (
http://tinyurl.com/PreventionSavings). With health care costs spiraling out of control, H.64 will allow for insurance coverage of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) (
www.CAMaVT.org), to prevent disease before disease actually arises. It has been shown that there is an increasing rate of return by investing in preventative medicines over investing in the current medical system.
H.64 Draft:
“This bill proposes to require health insurance plans, including Medicaid, to provide coverage for all health care services, including complementary and alternative treatments, if at least two studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals find such services to be safe, to be directly related to statistically significant improvements in individuals’ health status, and to reduce associated medical costs.”
