I am urging everyone to contact their local representative in congress  to request their support to co-sponsor  HR 802  which would provide TRICARE  recipients with  access to a benefit of chiropractic care.

Currently, active duty military personnel have access to chiropractic care within the DoD health care system,  however ,  they must wait between 2-3 months for their first or any followup visits, which  is way too long.  This  law will make available to retires, and their  dependends as well as survivor beneficiaries within the military TRICARE system with safe , effective, drugless chiropractic care, especially in light of the recent article in the Washington post  which reported reported 80% percent of the narcotic pain  medication prescribed in the world is here in the United States, even though we only account  less than 5% of the population.  Since January 2015,  chiropractic services are now included in the standard of care for pain management within the DoD.

Please call your local  Congressman and demand that they co-sponsor HR 802  which is lead by Rep's Mike Rogers  (R-AL) and Dave Loebsack (D-IA)
