Good Morning, I support this bill because I go to a Naturopath for some of my care since they are experts in chronic diseases. They need to be an option for every person no matter what Insurance they have. I am lucky, my company now covers my visits. I know people whose insurance does not. I have paid out-of-pocket in the past for naturopathic care including acupuncture. Insurance companies should not be allowed to discriminate between types of care that works best for the patient. A citizen of NH should not have to pay full premiums and be denied coverage for the care they need. Insurance is expensive enough without a person having to pay out-of-pocket as well. As for the insurance companies, I believe that they will save money by covering Naturopath visits. They can prevent a lot of problems which, in turn, cuts down on the number of times a person needs to be treated which, in turn, saves the insurance companies money overall. It is a win-win for all. Less disease, better health, less cost. Please support SB550.
