And why limit this to Chiropractic care? There is an acupuncture for seniors act in Congress which has been languishing in committee for lack of support.
I am a 79 yo retired nurse and massage therapist! Acupuncture and massage and chiropractors are my first line of defense for pain and or relief of body stiffness! No medications! Pharmaceuticals are too expensive and have too many side effects!
Why limit this to seniors? Chiropractic care should be covered for everyone from infants to seniors. Chiropractic care is beneficial for all age groups and has proven to be a preventative measure in overall health. Insurance carriers don't cover it because it will eliminate the need for most other services.
Medicare is for 65 and older people. The question is, whether "insurance" is the way forward. Where it exists, it determines the care given. That has resulted in a marked
Many pain medications only complicate and create more health issues. Chiropractic is so much healthier and can solve or at least help one cope with pain without taking more drugs. Obviously, the pharmaceutical companies are going to fight against this. I sincerely hope and pray Common Sense wins out over Greed.
Although its true that Chiropractors advertise their services for a variety of "pain" syndromes the truth is different. Normalizing joint function by restorative adjustments
is often useful to prevent the pain from ever occurring. That is the way forward.
In Chinese medicine, a doctor is paid for healthy people, not paid for sickness.
HR 539, Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2025, doesn't do much of what you've written about here. That would be HR 4204, the Chiropractic Patient Choice Act.
Chiropractors aren't the only Medicare-enrolled providers that can't accept outside cash from their Medicare patients. Neither can anesthetists, audiologists, physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, etc.
You just want them to be able to sell snake oil for cash to the same patients they're already milking Medicare for.
It would be about time! Instead of paying for illegals, give Americans what they need-seniors and younger!

They have that concept correct.

I’ll look that one up!

You want chiropractors reimbursed with public funds for practice far beyond their scope, all the way to kwokery.
Decades ago was a massive effort by half the profession that refused all "insurance"
Other chiros wanted parity. It appears that the push is once again on.
There was HIPPA law requiring detailed forms to "document" everything.
That was DATA collection and onerous. Here we go again...
And can we get supplements approved by insurance please?
why do you think it is the responsibility of the Gubmint to pay for your
nutritional supplements??
Anyone who goes to a chiropractor, is likely not going to an M.D. or E.R. which charges way more than a chiropractor.
