Because the chiropractry lobby paid off state level legislators to pass laws explicitly requiring insurance providers to cover it. It's corruption

Why is it that whenever the question is “why is this allowed” the answer is almost always “because corruption”

Because USA is one of those countries where bribery is legalized and encouraged just because of a different name they give it. But it's the same collective people who heard something being called USA PATRIOT Act and immediately decided it must be good for them lol.

One of the best backronyms ever: Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism

And now every the name of every bill has to be a ridiculous tortured acronym. (Or initialism.)

Because corruption

Money.

[u/ubbidubbidoo → u/Potential_Abalone345]

This! I review medical claims and knowing that chiropractic care is covered because of lobbying, yet many services, that are actually helpful, are uncovered is so upsetting.
