YOUR CARE IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE

Before you do your taxes you might want to know this great piece of information.  If you have seen a health care practitioner in 2013 and paid for the care out of pocket you can deduct this from your taxes.  If you bought supplements from that practitioner those supplements can be deducted as well.  Cindy is currently preparing each patients list of visits and supplements and she will be happy to give you a copy at your next visit.  If you haven't been to the clinic in a while all you have to do is give Cindy a call and she will mail or fax you the information.  If your tax person is not familiar with this federal law ask them to research under IRS Code Section 213D.  Also don't forget that if you have an HSA you can use that for any and all health care including prescribed supplements.

WELLNESS CARE COMMITMENT

With the new changes in health care laws people are concerned that the laws will limit their health care. In reality the goal of Dr. Betts is to help our patients stay off prescription drugs and stay out of hospitals altogether by helping them attain optimal health or what he likes to call 'True Wellness'. Unfortunately, hospitals have hijacked the term wellness and translated it as scheduled immunizations, medications and even profit driven testing procedures. The question is 'Is it working?' Of the industrial nations, we are rated 37th in the world in terms of our health care. We spend far more money for health than any other nation and yet we are still one of the sickest nations. The term wellness or 'true' wellness focuses on raising your level of health, feeling good and having energy to live with passion, not just dragging yourself through life. Dr. Betts is happy to introduce you to this kind of practice as a physician and as a coach.
