MD-bashing & the politics of integrating TCM in national health.

[Guest guest]

Richard -

 

What does the Communist Manifesto have to do with anything at all

relating to this discussion? Really, whatever you are trying to get at

by injecting a tangential political remark, it doesn't help your cause.

There is no need. Your letter was just fine as is.

The red apple doesn;t fall far from the tree.

 

While we hear from the some that letting Chinese medicine just SEEP

into

western culture is the best........

we lose ground as a profession and those

untrained gain position. This is not turf war in the sense of two

equals arguing.

 

Not that we all of us care about insurance reimbursement for our

work.....but the status quo has just dropped in Florida.

 

Licensed Acupuncturists were always reimbursed for their work in

Personal

Injury Protection (PIP) in automobile accidents.

 

NOW that has gone bye-bye.

 

Like the workers compensation, APs need a prescription from an MD,

DO or a

DC.

 

The handwriting is on the wall and the field is continually being

smothered

in the ether by those who propagandize a " do nothing " attitude.

 

Maybe we should take a hard look at the Communist Manifesto and make a

comparison?

It is very relevant to these discussions on slavery etc.

 

To avoid belaboring the details look it up.

 

At root it has to do with money and who is not allowed to have their own

cash register.
