Excerpt
The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) respectfully provides the following # I commentary in connection with the Federal Trade Commission/U.S. Department of Justice joint I hearings entitled Health Care and Competition Law and Policy. The current health care I marketplace contains within it an unbalanced playing field. Many operations of managed care i organizations and insurance companies are not subject to the restrictions of the antitrust laws under the McCaren-Ferguson Act. individual health care providers are, therefore, at a distinct disadvantage since they are subject to the full force and effect of these laws. Such providers are limited in the way in which they communicate with each other and with the public on vital issues affecting patient care.
