House Committee on Veterans' Affairs
Subcommittee on Health
Hearing on Chiropractic Services
in the Department of Veterans Affairs
October 3, 2000
Section 303 of the Veterans' Millennium Health Care Act (Public Law No:
106-117), which became law on November 30, 1999, orders the Veterans Administration
to establish a policy for the Veterans Health Administration regarding the
role of chiropractic treatment in the care of veterans. On October 3, 2000,
a Congressional hearing was held to discuss the VHA's policy toward chiropractic
care, which has traditionally been very negative.
