The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act (H.R. 3654) would force Medicare to cover all services that the chiropractic industry claims to be within its pseudoscientific repertoire and, ludicrously, define chiropractors as “physicians” in the Medicare program.
This legislation would allow unqualified practitioners to deceive vulnerable patients into paying for a host of sham treatments that carry health risks while providing little or no medical benefit. It would endanger patients who need treatments that have been proven to be safe and effective in treating serious health conditions, and it would waste taxpayer dollars on snake oil. For the sake of patient health and safety, we can’t let this bill become law. But you can do something about it. Contact your representative now.
