Medicare Approved Acupuncture Care

TUESDAY, JUNE 9: Call President Obama at (202) 456-1111 and ask him to include H.R. 646 into the Healthcare Reform Act. This act will allow Medicare Part B members and Federal Employees to receive acupuncture care as part of their insurance benefits.

H.R. 646 or The Federal Acupuncture Coverage Act of 2009 would amend Title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide for coverage of qualified acupuncturist services under part B of the Medicare program, and to amend Title 5, United States Code, to provide for coverage of such services under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.

You can also call your Florida Senator or Representative and ask him/her to co-sponsor the bill:

President Obama (202) 456-1111

Florida Legislator, Jennifer Caroll (850) 488-5102

Florida Senator (R), Stephen Wise (904) 381-6000

Florida Senator (D), Tony Hill, Sr. (904) 924-1646


Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.
