       H.R. 1017, CHIROPRACTIC CARE AVAILABLE TO ALL VETERANS ACT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TODD TIAHRT

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 8, 2010

  Mr. TIAHRT. Madam Speaker, I join my colleagues in strong support of 
H.R. 1017, the Chiropractic Care Available to All Veterans Act. This 
legislation ensures that chiropractic care and services will be offered 
to all veterans through Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) medical 
centers and clinics by the end of 2012.
  The benefits of chiropractic care are widely-known, and make a 
tremendous difference in the quality of life for so many Americans. As 
a regular chiropractic patient, I can attest to the benefits of this 
valuable service.
  Veterans deserve a wide-range of services to meet their individual 
needs. As chiropractic care has grown in popularity, it is only logical 
to offer this service to our veterans. I am pleased, therefore, that 
this legislation will ensure access to chiropractic care for Kansas 
veterans.
  I urge all my colleagues to join with me in support of H.R. 1017.
