Dear Friends,
I am glad to have this opportunity to again share my thoughts
on the role doctors of chiropractic play in the American health
care system. As I have said before, doctors of chiropractic play
an important role in our health care system, and my commitment
to you and your patients remains strong.
As I have said, I believe steps should be taken to acknowledge
the important care provided by doctors of chiropractic. We need
to knock down unreasonable barriers of access and discriminatory
insurance coverage so Americans in need of quality chiropractic
care can access it without difficulty. We need to expand the range
of chiropractic services covered by Medicare, facilitate integration
of doctors of chiropractic into the health care systems of the
Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense, and allow
commission of doctors of chiropractic as officers in the Commissioned
Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service. And again, under my health
care plan, many, if not all, chiropractic services would be included
in the benefit package offered in the public plan.
America faces challenges both at home and abroad. To remain competitive,
we must ensure that our health care system is accessible for every
American. That is why my plan ensures quality, accessible heath
care for all Americans. Doctors of chiropractic will play an important
role in achieving this goal. I look forward to a strong relationship
with the ACA as we build that future together.
Sincerely,
Barack
Obama
