National Health Care Reform
Without question, America’s health care delivery system is in need of meaningful reform. More than 47 million Americans are uninsured and the rising cost of health care may cause millions more to lose their existing coverage. ACA supports a progressive health care system—one that focuses on comprehensive wellness care and disease prevention—and not the current “sick care” model. Full integration of chiropractic services into a wellness-based delivery system has the potential to save money and increase patient satisfaction levels, as well as to expand patient treatment and provider options.

Medicare Reform
At present, doctors of chiropractic are allowed to provide only a single physician service within Medicare (manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation), even though they have been included in the program for over 35 years. As a result, beneficiaries are denied the freedom to select a doctor of chiropractic (DC) as their provider of choice to furnish other covered Medicare benefits that fall within the scope of practice of doctors of chiropractic.
