chiropractic is non essential

[Guest guest]

, as you well know " chiropractic " was never TRULY " covered " by any

stretch of the imagination within the OHP. OHP and its promoters and its

defenders live in a make-believe world and have been living in that world ever

since its origination.

There was a saying in the Soviet Union...the people would say: " We pretend to

work and the government pretends to pay us. " We could apply this to the OHP. The

OHP is based on the false premise that so-called " health-care " (aka free

drugs)is a basic " right " and that free availability of this so-called " health

care " will lead to something called " health " . and docs: Did you know

that the OMAP, just like the NIH has NO official working definition of the word

" health " . Both agencies are money holes with no realistic targets other than to

perpetuate themselves.

re: getting paid for "what we are worth..."

without delving into the metaphysik of Chiropractic philosophy, nor enter into the realm of 'wellness care' vs 'acute pain/symptom based care'..........

I'd like to know just how large of a portion of us actually charge "what we are worth" much less are paid for "wellness care".....on a regular basis...

I've been searching for decades for a "New Paradigm" but may have to settle for a "Really Good Cup of Coffee"...

I suspect there are those who have found this land of Life, Health and Living aka 'Wellness'....now that the dry season is upon us and the mud has receded for a while, who is willing to step forth and lead the rest of us from the Valley of Death, Disease and Dieing?.....

yours in Health,

I agree with Vern. OHP didn't really cover our services before since

those MS diagnoses most common were well past the cut-off point of the

prioritized list of diagnoses. Now they have come out and specifically

announced that under the " standard " OHP package Chiropractic is no longer

covered. Isn't that what they refer to as an " oxymoron " ?
