Best of all, as a member of the WCA, you are helping to:
|
| Protect B.J.s sacred
trust by supporting efforts to make sure
subluxation-based chiropractic will not only survive, but thrive. We do
what it takes to protect you, your patients, and your profession! That
means fighting attempts to turn chiropractic into a "medical
therapy" or limit it to neuro-musculoskeletal conditions.
|
|
| Finance the most
aggressive lobbying effort in the profession. The WCA retains one of
Washington’s top lobbyists, and has a strong presence at the capitol.
We were responsible for making sure the V.A. bill contains specific
reference to subluxation care and are spearheading the campaign to win
support for House Concurrent Resolution 46 – which protects the unique
character of chiropractic as a subluxation-based, drug-free health care
approach offered ONLY by doctors of chiropractic.
|
|
| Bring chiropractic to
the world. The WCA is working with the World
Health Organization to develop standards of chiropractic safety and
education, and "model" legislation that all nations can use
when they recognize chiropractic as a separate and unique health care
system. In addition, our representatives around the globe work to
educate government leaders and the public to chiropractic’s true role
in health and wellness.
|
|
| Support subluxation
research. Tired of research dollars being
spent for studies that have nothing to do with subluxation? The WCA
funds research on topics such as the possible link between vertebral
subluxation and the immune system, and publishes the online Journal
of Vertebral Subluxation Research to provide scientific validity for
what you as a chiropractic do.
|
|
| Stop "Mercy"
attacks. By educating health care officials,
the insurance industry, the legal system, and the public about the flaws
of the Mercy guidelines, the WCA has helped stop IMEs from using that
document to accuse subluxation-based D.C.s of malpractice, and made it
more difficult for insurance companies to reject claims based on
"Mercy" recommendations.
|
|
| Take a stand against MANDATORY
vaccination. Like any other drug, vaccines
pose risks. The WCA fights for the right of all people to be informed of
those risks and decide for themselves whether they want their families
– especially their children – subjected to them. We fight against
vaccination as a requirement for education and employment. |
