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.
"I Dare You to Place This Letter on the Front Page!"
Dear Dynamic Chiropractic:
I write this letter to you because I am thoroughly frustrated with our profession's lack of UNITY! I'm sick and tired of reading (the ACA and ICA) articles about unity in our profession. Fellow DCs ... let's create unity NOW! Stop this nonsense. How hard can it be? It is only as difficult as we make it. Let's pound out an agreement and form one professional association. We all know this is extremely important and I am (along with many others) beyond being frustrated with our lack of unity. ICA + ACA = 1 STRONG and POWERFUL CHIROPRACTIC PROFESSION.
Enough said.
