Legislative Action Needed!!!

With the anticipated cuts in the Illinois Medicaid budget it is imperative that all chiropractors contact your local state legilsators www.illinois.gov immediately.

The IPSCA suggest that ALL our doctors write or call your state senators and representatives asking them NOT to cut chiropractic benefits from the state Medicaid budget. The governor is asking the General Assembly to remove $2.5 billion from Medicaid in the upcoming fiscal year. The chiropractic portion is very small but we do not want to set a precedent in being cut out of programs.

A model letter is availalbe for your use which notes how effective chiropractic care is and we encourage you to use this information. Please do not wait on this issue or assume that someone else will just do it...We need everyone's assistanc ein order to keep chiropractic included.
