Healthcare Reform I was listening to talk radio when a physician mentioned: www.docs4patientcare.org This is a national grass roots effort by doctors to get the word out to their representatives that healthcare may need change but not a drastic overhaul. Politics aside, and opinions vary dramatically dependent on economic reality and political persuasion, placing a thicker layer of government between the doctor and the patient will make managed care paperwork today look like a cakewalk. Besides our concern of inclusion for chiropractic, when the expense of the reform presently on the table is clear, it will be made further clear that inclusion for us may be further elective and limited. To this day, Medicare refuses to pay for examinations, x- rays, therapy, rehabilitation, nutrition, etc. Limiting us to the elderly, those most in need of a clear evaluation and maintenance care plan, Medicare has placed us in a proverbial Skinners Box, training us to abide by rules neither to our or the patient's advantage. Do you think further reform will make things better? The webpage mentioned above is a medically driven program where signing up for their newsletter requests your specialty. The specialty initials they provide before your name does not mention DC. This doesn't surprise me, neither was DO by the way, since a DC is but an afterthought, an insignificant piece of the massive healthcare pie. In the eyes of the government and the medical profession we are but a hemorrhoid that tags along, is that graphic enough. But are we? What bleeds the healthcare system in this and every country is the lack of it. Oodles of money is spent on disease and sickness, on crisis management, on laborious tests and glorious diagnosis but always as an afterthought. Reducing symptomatic causes prior to effect is set aside for the quacks with little time, energy and money dedicated to exploring if theory is reality. In a great book, Anti-Cancer, A New Way Of Life, the author, a physician, writes a truism that has stuck with me. He writes that diet, mental outlook, exercise and a concerted effort to reduce toxins both within and without, is the key to health and reducing the chronic diseases we face today. But for those patients unable or unwilling to abide by certain healthy rules and habits, there are a myriad of drugs to keep patients going. Bad health is usually the result of bad habits and choices, not bad luck. Healthcare as we know it is Disease-care with little emphasis on health. Chiropractors are healers in the most profound way. As the human evolves through time, the one constant is the nervous system. Other systems interact to adapt to the harshness of their environment, stress, depleted and polluted food and immune challenges. Putting the pieces together and coordinating the adaptive process is the nervous system. We are the management team for this precious system and with additional prompting of proper lifestyle change, diet, exercise and clinical nutritional repair we are the true champions of healthcare. Healthcare reform will be true reform when the focus is on Health and Wellness. Our part is huge.
