In a landmark development, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) has reached a $2.8 billion settlement to resolve antitrust claims brought by health care providers, including chiropractors.

In the 4-6 issue, Janet Jordan was identified as the president of the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations (COCSA), and as a DC. She is, as most any state association representative will tell you, the capable executive director of the COCSA; she is not a DC.
The president of the COCSA is Len Suiter, DC.
We apologize for the blunder and any inconvenience it caused.
