Dear Governor Walz / Senator [Last Name] / Representative [Last Name],
I am writing to respectfully urge you to reinstate and expand chiropractic coverage for adult Medical Assistance
(MA) enrollees in Minnesota. As someone who has personally experienced the benefits of chiropractic care, I know
how important it is to have access to safe, non-drug treatment options for pain.
Before I started treating with my chiropractor, I couldn’t [share specific struggle—e.g., “sleep through the night,”
“stand long enough to cook a meal,” “play with my children without pain”]. Without chiropractic, I would have been
left with only medications, pain, and being moved from doctor to doctor.
Chiropractic care allowed me back parts of my life that I thought were gone. After treatment, I was able to [share
emotional outcome—e.g., “go back to work and provide for my family,” “pick up my child without fear of pain,”
“walk to the park with my spouse again”]. These may sound like small things, but they mean everything when
you’ve lost them.
Losing coverage would take those things away from me and from thousands of others like me across Minnesota. For
many of us, this isn’t about choosing between options. It’s about whether we can afford to live without constant
pain, keep our jobs, and stay present for our families.
I strongly urge you to reinstate and expand chiropractic coverage under Medical Assistance. Doing so would show
that Minnesota is committed to ensuring its residents and providing access to safe, non-drug care.
Thank you for listening to my story.
Sincerely,
[FirstName Last Name]
[City, MN]
