Chiro cyrstal ball

I see chiropractic services continuing indefinitely as a part of our healthcare system, regardless of what these services are or become.

Healthcare payment in our society is headed for more government regulation/intervention. I don't see any way that the "democracy" associated with a healthcare coverage bureaucracy would ever tolerate exclusion of payment toward chiropractic services. Science and the scientific method will never carry as much weight in the influence of popular opinion as will a passionate, feel-good testimonial followed by a plee to preserve freedom-of-choice and fairness among all healthcare practitioners.

After all, any association with a freedom-of-choice or fairness will touch an emotional nerve and promote action long before we realize any logical need for a more altruistic and somewhat utilitarianism-based approach to healthcare coverage that is perhaps demanded by the economics of what our society can afford. -dras
