Congressman Marc Veasey discusses Affordable Care Act with Parker University

Chiropractic Economics October 24, 2013

Congressman Marc Veasey with Parker University administrative and student leaders.October 24, 2013 — U.S. Congressman Marc Veasey visited Parker University’s campus Oct. 21 for a discussion with university administrative and student leaders about chiropractic care’s role in healthcare and the Affordable Care Act.

Several topics were raised during the discussion, including chiropractic’s inclusion in the Affordable Care Act, the importance of wellness and preventative care, equal status for chiropractors, and the National Chiropractic Legislative Conference in February 2014.

Veasey represents Texas District 33 in the U.S. House of Representatives. District 33 includes neighborhoods in both Tarrant and Dallas counties in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

A chiropractic advocate, Veasey said he was glad to get a better understanding from Parker University students, faculty, and administration on chiropractic and its inclusion in the Affordable Care Act. “Chiropractic plays an important role in delivering health care in our nation,” he said.

With more than a decade of public service experience, Veasey was first elected to the Texas State House in 2004. He has earned a reputation for his strong voice in the state legislature, fighting for good jobs, good schools, access to quality healthcare, voting rights, and more.

University administrative leaders, including President Brian McAulay, DC, were glad to have Congressman Veasey on campus for the important discussion.

“It’s imperative that the chiropractic profession, including our chiropractic students and faculty members get involved in discussions about healthcare with leaders in Congress,” said McAulay. “This discussion is one of many that I plan to have with political leaders about chiropractic’s role in our healthcare system and the importance of wellness and preventative care.”

Parker University President Dr. Brian McAulay and Congressman Veasey.Student leaders Scharlene Gaudet and Tamikia Prunty were especially glad to get the chance to meet Congressman Veasey before they attend the National Chiropractic Legislative Conference (NCLC) in February 2014. The NCLC provides a once-a-year legislative opportunity for doctors of chiropractic and industry leaders to come together in Washington, DC to meet with members of Congress to discuss the issues that matter most to doctors of chiropractic and their patients.
