I have served for the Governor's office for over 17 yrs in state regulation. 6 of those years as a licensing board member and 4 1/2 as president of the Oregon Board of Chiropractic Examiners. I served as the Oregon delegate to the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (the US credentialing/ testing agency) and 6 years as the Oregon delegate to the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards (International regulation agency). I was recently made aware of HB 119, a newly proposed, PIP insurance law that would limit consumers ability to access non-emergency and non-drug treatment for musculo-skeletal injurie following an auto accident. I've listed below, the reasons I believe this is an extremely flawed idea. Although I'm not a direct constituent, I would respectfully ask that you consider the points below and vote AGAINST this bill. thank you for considering my point of view. Minga Guerrero DC Hood View Chiropractic 270 NE 181st Ave Portland, OR 97230 HB 119 Does nothing to directly attack fraud In these days of high unemployment, will cause the loss of tens of thousands of jobs (in offices of non-hospital providers) Will lower the quality of health care provided to those injured in auto accidents Will result in less care for those with injuries, as all benefits will be absorbed in just one ER visit with high-dollar diagnostic costs Shifts care to the most expensive, most chaotic venue Will flood emergency rooms, meaning longer wait time for care for those who are critical and not critical Removes the number one choice of consumers for drugless, conservative care: chiropractic. Removes the least expensive drugless, non-surgical intervention: chiropractic. By removing the number one drugless intervention, will result in even more injured Floridians with dependencies on pain medication, feeding the pill mill problem. Minga Guerrero DC abowoman@...
