Dear DC

Bruce Kniegge

I just want to express my heart-felt thanks to you and all the doctors who have responded to the article you published about my shooting in Honduras. The response from the chiropractic community was fantastic. My wife and I cried as we read the letters and cards sent by many well wishers. The financial response was enough to help cover the extra costs of my surgery, flights, and a future prosthesis.

My health is very good, and my full strength is back. I have no pain and have just been fitted with a temporary ceramic eye. I will get a more permanent type of eye in June. I am getting used to the loss of this important item in my body. I praise God for two of them and that I still have my life and the use of my other eye. I still have my hands, so I can provide effective chiropractic care also.

Again, thank you for your help. Your prayers and your support in all ways.

Serving "Him" in Honduras.

BCBS Provider Settlement: Find Out If You’re Eligible
BCBS Provider Settlement: Find Out If You’re Eligible

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. The lawsuit accused BCBS of dividing the nation into exclusive regions and limiting competition, which resulted in lower reimbursements for providers. Although BCBS denies any wrongdoing, the company agreed to the settlement to avoid lengthy litigation – and you can get a piece of the pie.

WFC Non-Interference Policy: What Could It Mean for the ACA?

The World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) Board of Directors passed a “Policy on Non-Interference and Respect for National Authority” at its Q3 2024 meeting. Upon reading this, some might ask if the WFC policy is targeting the activities of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) in providing international membership to Japanese individuals who do not hold a chiropractic degree from an accredited institution.
