Please contact Gov. Newsom NOW to ask him to keep acupuncture covered by MediCal. Avoiding surgeries and helping people return to work saves money!!!! https://www.gov.ca.gov/contact/

“While COVID is less severe for most people than during the first years of the pandemic — thanks to immunizations and past infections — and guidance about how to stay safe has become less stringent, doctors say it’s still important for people who are sick to avoid putting others at risk.“

COVID's spread is being aided by people who are still going to work or traveling while sick. Doctors say it's important for people who are sick to avoid putting others at risk.

Save acupuncture for Medi-Cal patients!

05/24/2024

I work in a clinic that provides these services. Cutting acupuncture would be so shortsighted. Acupuncture can save people from needing opioids, allows them to keep working and prevents the need to more drastic medical intervention. Please contact your state reps and ask them to preserve this coverage! Links below.

California State “Governor’s Proposed 2024-25 May Revision” cuts acupuncture as Medi-Cal Benefit, starting January 2025. This cut will stop the existing acupuncture services for millions of much needed Medi-Cal beneficiaries, and negatively impact the acupuncture profession in the State. TAKE ACTION NOW


1. https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/ Find your local Senator and Assembly Member.
2. Fill in the attached letter with your information and send it out as soon as possible.
3. Share on social media, alumni groups, tell your teachers, patients and families to write and call their reps now.

Thank you.
