American Chiropractic Association - Potential Gloom and Doom
The American Chiropractic Association put out a letter today that states: "the chiropractic profession is going to be seriously out-gunned and out-manuevered by more powerful and influential forces.." After many paragraphs of all the terrible things that may happen, it turns out to be a membership drive.
The Chiropractic profession must continue to fight for its place in healthcare. Unfortunately that is true for mostly EVERY business in a capitalist country. We have heard the power that one brand or industry may have in keeping or eliminating a competitor. Just check the history for new and low calorie sweeteners to name one.
Also we have observed that many chiropractors are not as involved in the direction that their 'representing agencies' are going. For example in NC, we have been deeply concerned about the relationship between a very expensive billing clearinghouse (CNC) and the NCCA (North Carolina Chiropractic Association). Take care of our backyard first, contact and get to know your senators and representatives regularly.
