Senator Wiener issued the following statement:
“Acupuncture is a critical health care tool to manage chronic pain and for other health needs. We need to ensure people can access acupuncture, including lower income people who rely on Medi-Cal for health care. The state faces serious budget challenges this year, but acupuncture treatments can save us money in the long run by preventing those with chronic pain from switching to dangerously addictive opioids. I’m extremely grateful to leaders in the acupuncture community and the Legislative API Caucus — especially Assemblymembers Ting and Low — for fighting for the community and working with me on this important need.”
