By Chiropractic Future Strategic Plan
Molalla, Oregon — June 19, 2025 — In a bold and unprecedented step to combat regulatory discrimination and restore competition in U.S. healthcare, Chiropractic Future has submitted three formal comments to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Anticompetitive Regulations Task Force. These comprehensive filings spotlight widespread anticompetitive practices that exclude doctors of chiropractic from full participation in federal health systems and private insurance markets, despite clinical effectiveness, licensure parity, and legal recognition. The comments address systemic violations of provider nondiscrimination law under 42 U.S.C. § 300gg-5, critical regulatory barriers within Medicare, and misuse of ERISA preemption by insurers to suppress chiropractic participation.
