ARLINGTON, Virginia -- Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole and Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will give their perspectives on health care reform at a March 9th luncheon of the American Chiropractic Association's 1995 National Chiropractic Legislative Conference (NCLC).
Senator Dole is a leading candidate for the 1996 GOP presidential nomination. Congressman Gingrich has announced he will not seek the nomination in 1996.
The ACA is touting the conference (March 9-10) as one of the most important conferences of the year. Also speaking at the conference will be senators Tom Harkin (D-IA), John Chafee (R-RI), Strom Thurmond (R-SC), and congressmen Bill Brewster (D-OK) and Bill Thomas (R-CA).
ACA Executive Vice President J. Ray Morgan said it was the "perfect time for DCs to convene in the nation's capitol to send a unified message to the new GOP majority."
When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

A central challenge in creating our identity is that chiropractic is a method of care, not a technique or procedure. This is an important concept for us to promote.
