ObamaCare

1. Access Restriction: System bogged down by “free” preventive services
 and “essential health benefits” package that do not cover Chiropractic,Vitamins, Gym Memberships, or anything that actually promote health.

2. Provider Cuts: Medicare Value-Based Purchasing and EHR standards can
 be used to cut provider payments. Medicaid will be expanded by at least 17
 Million Americans while Medicare payment cuts will exceed $400 Billion.

3. Uncovered Procedures: an Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB)
 will be used to determine what procedures are reimbursed. Further the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (CER) will be used to 
 “compare treatment options for disease”.

ObamaCare Section 2706: Nondiscrimination in Health Care

Insurers may not discriminate on plan coverage against any
 health care provider that is acting within the scope of
 applicable licensure under states’ laws.

Medicare currently does NOT cover examinations, x-rays, therapies, nor anything else to Chiropractors other than adjustments at a cut value Not one time in my 10 year career have I received a Medicaid check Blue Cross Blue Shield

Most plans have Chiropractic limits as small as $400 a year “Medical necessity” restrictions not seen in any other sector Uncovered procedures like DMX even though it’s the #1 government recommended diagnostic tool for whiplash and cervical spine injury Restricts therapy usage with such lingo they could deny anything

 “The thing that bugs me is that people think the FDA is protecting them. It isn’t. What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it’s doing are as different as night and day.” Dr. Herbert Ley (ex FDA Commissioner)

• Home Births: At your own legal risk in 23 states including Alabama
• Raw Milk: Sale for human consumption illegal in 17 states including Alabama
• Vaccine Religious Exemptions available in all states but MS and WV, however Philosophical ONLY available in 19 states
• In 2011 the Supreme Court ruled vaccine makers were protected from lawsuits, setting up a Vaccine Injury Court which only 2 have gotten through to date. Seat belt injury lawsuits are perfectly acceptable by the way.
• Parents forced medical care upon their children such as in the Parker Jensen case
• In 2013 Obama signed HR 933 referred to as the “Monsanto Protection Act”, while since 1995 over $18 BILLION has been subsidized to Big Agribusiness, while Monsanto persists a revolving door with the FDA, while Monsanto continues to buy up all the organic and seed companies they can buy out or choke out
•  “In the nineteenth century, respect for the certainty of science was in stark contrast to the quackery and mysticism of nineteenth century medicine. To emphasize the transition to the more scientific approach to modern medicine, physicians sought to represent themselves as scientists, and began to wear the most recognizable symbol of the scientist, the white laboratory coat.”

Joseph Mercola (1954-present): DO operating largest online health website

“only 15% of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence…partly because only 1% of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all.” – Britsh Medical Journal 1991
