Call to Action – Urgent Request
The “Big Beautiful Bill” May Negatively Impact Chiropraactors
Our association recently received a suite of advocacy resources from ChiroCongress and the Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC), and we wanted to pass them along. If you feel compelled to share your thoughts with your Senator, you’ll find everything you need below:
1. Impact Brief: “One Big Beautiful Bill” & Specified Service Trades & Businesses
- Provided by ChiroCongress, this brief outlines how the proposed “Big Beautiful Bill” would eliminate the state and local tax (SALT) deduction for Specified Service Trades & Businesses (SSBTs)—small practices like yours could face higher taxes, reduced cash flow for equipment and staffing, and ultimately diminished patient care.
- Key concerns include double taxation of pass-through income and loss of parity with larger corporations.
- A step-by-step action guide to help you assess your practice’s tax exposure, coordinate outreach with fellow chiropractors, and engage grassroots support.
- A concise handout summarizing talking points for distribution at practice meetings or in newsletters.
2. Sample Email to Your U.S. Senator
- A fully drafted template provided by ChiroCongress that you can personalize to highlight how removing SALT for small practices unfairly shifts costs onto independent providers.
3. Association of Chiropractic College (ACC) Education & Budget Materials
- Shared by the Association of Chiropractic Colleges, this analysis details proposed changes to student loan programs—such as the elimination of Grad PLUS loans, new Pell Grant eligibility rules, and borrowing caps—that could hinder access to chiropractic education.
Should you choose to speak up, these resources will ensure your message is clear, concise, and impactful.
