Insurance Coverage for Natural Healthcare - Facebook @ Massachusetts Health Option

The people have spoken. People want a choice in their health care. With this bill you can make that choice; pick your health care option, conventional medicine or Naturopathic/Holistic “medicine”. Choose to treat the symptoms or heal your body by getting to the root cause of an illness and giving your body the support it needs to heal itself.
How does the new Mehlmauer Bill get this done for you? It first sends you to a Naturopathic/Holistic Practitioner. Then, you receive a program outlining what you need to treat your condition, such as supplements & herbs. The Professional will give you a debit card to purchase these items on your program.
To make sure your health is improving, you will make frequent visits to the Naturopathic/Holistic Practitioner’s office. Each visit the practitioner must exam you to determine any changes in the protocol to optimize the healing process.
If this bill passes, for the first time a person with a serious illness or chronic disease state will have coverage in Massachusetts for diets that require very expensive super foods, tools, organic fruits and vegetables, supplements, vitamins, and other natural treatments that are prescribed by Naturopathic/Holistic practitioners. Over the long run this type of coverage will keep insurance and medical costs down. Through Naturopathic treatments patients learn to care for their body, develop an understanding of the body’s natural healing process, and become an intricate part of the healing process. This natural healing process will reduce medical costs because a person cured of their illness will not cost their insurance company exorbitant medical costs such as surgeries, pharmaceuticals, and other expensive treatment.
The Medical professionals only treat the symptoms of the illness, not the root cause. Now with this new law patients who choose a natural approach can treat the cause of the illness, allowing that person to embark on a true healing process to start a new life, to have a second chance.
Thank you for all your support with this new proposed law for Massachusetts.

The Mehlmaur Bill is unique; it will enable a person seeking holistic/naturopathic treatment to be covered comprehensively by health insurance. In New Hampshire a similar law was passed providing coverage for naturopathic treatment; however the patient has to pay a significant amount of out-of-pocket expenses for the prescribed treatments. What we would like to see in Massachusetts is more practical coverage. We say practical because only covering a portion of the naturopathic/holistic practitioners visit is just a first step towards proper treatment. These natural solutions have significant healing aspects and there is enough food science to support these claims. By only covering a portion of the office visit a patient is left facing the cost of their portion of the visit, their “health insurance” premiums, and the treatment prescribed which often requires supplements, organic fruits and vegetables, and “superfoods”. Since currently none of the natural treatments are covered by insurance, a patient faces the full cost of these therapies. An insurance company will spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on pharmaceuticals, surgeries, and other toxic therapies which only treat symptoms. Natural/holistic treatments heal the root cause, teach patients to care for their bodies, and create an overall lifestyle change which promotes the health of a patient for life thereby reducing the need for medicine, surgeries, and the typically “accepted” course of aging in America. The Mehlmauer Bill will give people a choice; a choice which is currently not available to those with a limited income. We believe Massachusetts should be the leader and set the example for an overhaul of the traditional treatment options available in our “modern” medical system. Instead of seeing healthcare as surgery, drugs, and procedures, let’s offer an alternative. We believe that the healing process starts with a choice. This bill will enable the patient to have more options, to have more control, to truly have choices in their medical care, their treatment plans, their healthcare options. Since we’ve been petitioning, an overwhelming majority of people have said they support this concept and love that it would give them a choice. Help us help our state; let us give the people an alternative view on medicine, on healthcare, on the healing process all together. Let’s give them a choice.
