The purpose of the Boulder Sports Acupuncture Blog is education. Topics will range from acupuncture, diet and nutrition, training, insight into common sports injuries, narratives on local athletes, and articles submitted by the readers. The information will provide a closer look into the stories and people of our community as well as personal discussions of the health and maintenance of our mind and bodies as it pertains to Chinese Medicine.

On Fridays, a new question will be asked in what I am calling the “Friday Symposium”. Readers will have an opportunity to express their opinions and experiences regarding a topic. There is no perspective, degree, or area of expertise that has all the answers. By sharing our collective knowledge and educating each other, it is my hope we can have a greater understanding of our world.

Thank you,
Steven

Acupuncture as an Essential Health Benefit

Friday, October 21, 2011 at 1:01 PM

Why is acupuncture an added insurance benefit only for people who can afford it? Including it as an Essential benefit means it becomes mainstream and covered. It lowers overall health costs by avoiding drugs and surgery, augments recovery when you use western medicine. Why is it only for the well to do? You can change this! And we are going to need every one of my friends and all of your friends too! We need 100,000 signatures in 2 weeks, so follow this link to sign a letter to the US Secretary of Health, Share this, and watch what the people's medicine can do!

Please click the hyperlink below and send a letter to Congress recommending acupuncture as a service that should be considered as a"essential health benefit" for all Americans.

Its just a few clicks!
