Chiropractic express continues rolling through the General Assembly
For those following the fuss over former Speaker Jim Black's chiropractic provision (click here) the Senate Health Committee took less than four minutes to vote in favor of repeal.
I'm still amused how the bill sponsors speak in kind of vague terms about this deal. For example, Rep. Hugh Holliman told senators that the provision was created by "a former member of the House" who later plead guilty to "putting this in for a bribe."
What, is Jim Black now "he who must not be named?"
Anyway, Holliman told the Senators that the House is running a bill to redo the chiropractic bill that this current piece of legislation is undoing. Why? Well, some people think equal co-pays for chiropractors and general practitioners is a good idea. They just need to run the bill all honest like.
If you're really interested listen to the full committee hearing on the bill.
Next step: the full Senate will vote, and then the bill will be off to the governor's desk - assuming no amendments are made on the floor.
