How the Health Care Bill Affects Chiropractic

Interesting article on the Health Care Bill's effect on Chiropractic. There are several items in the new law that will benefit chiropractic. Here is a list of some key points in the health care reform legislation:

• The “Harkin Amendment,” which is a provider non-discrimination provision, makes it a violation of Federal Law to discriminate against doctors of chiropractic, who are state licensed or certified and operating within their scope of practice.
• Interdisciplinary community health teams will potentially include doctors of chiropractic.
• Doctors of chiropractic will be included in the National Health Care Workforce Commission.

Here is the full text of the bill.
