“Here’s PROOF We’re Not Alone!”: Aliens, UFOs & Conspiracy Theories | Dr. Greer (E064)

"Chiropractic care and acupuncture are recommended in numerous best practice guidelines as first-line treatments for pain. Both are increasingly covered in commercial health plans, and patients are seeking non-drug approaches to managing their pain and chronic diseases.

However, arbitrary limits on Medicare coverage mean that seniors — arguably one of the most important groups to consider when thinking about pain and chronic disease — don’t have access to the evidence-based, recommended care they deserve. The time is now for Congress to pass bipartisan legislation to create greater choice and better outcomes for patients, as well as projected cost savings to the system."
