Dear Valued Veterans,
Just wanted to let you know that in addition to the standard medical services that we have offered you in the past, you now have direct access to chiropractic care — no referral needed. Our medical facilities will soon be staffed by doctors of chiropractic standing ready to serve your health care needs. We sincerely hope you will take advantage of this exciting new benefit. You deserve it.
Your friends at the VA.

As our nation waits on pins and needles for our elected officials to craft a “health-insurance- plan-for-everyone,” those who are super-excited by this proposition need to understand that it will not be “free.” We will all directly and indirectly pay for it. You can be sure of that. And the scary thing is, we are looking to the federal government to craft this utopian health insurance plan… when their track record in the insurance business is down right lousy.

We have many rights in this great land of ours: the right to free speech, the right to bear arms, and the right to vote are a few that come to mind; and starting next year, Washingtonians will have a brand new right that’s sure to deepen their constitutional pride — the right to direct chiropractic access.
