Federal Student Loan Forgiveness program for acupuncturists

[Guest guest]

I took the part of this letter about FSLF and added some words. Feel

free to copy or whatever. If you haven't seen this yet, I think the

sample letter says it all. This is a great opportunity. Send it to

your elected reps.

 

Sample Letter:

 

The Honorable xxxxxx

US House of Representatives,

Washington, DC 20515

 

 

Dear Representative xxxx:

 

As a licensed acupuncturist, I wish to request that acupuncturists are

added to the list of health care providers who are part of the

Federal Student Loan Forgiveness program. Many acupuncturists would be

well suited to this program. Acupuncturists are often inclined to serve

the underprivileged and many are attracted to the rural areas that

qualify FSLF programs. In most states, we are trained as independent

care providers. While not being able to meet all primary health care

needs, we are trained in both emergency techniques and to make

appropriate referrals for conventional care.

 

Poor people and those in rural areas also deserve the opportunity to be

served with acupuncture, which is an inexpensive, safe form of

healthcare. And the licensed acupuncturist may be able to play a vital

role in supplementing the shortage of general practice physicians

nationwide. Your support of this bill would enable licensed

acupuncturists to practice in poor and rural areas and thus support

fairness and the availability of cost-effective alternatives in the

medical marketplace.

 

In order to accomplish this, would you please co-sponsor HR 1890 to

empower freedom of choice and socioeconomic fairness for health care

access?

 

 

Sincerely,
