Yeah, we really need to remove chiropractors and osteopathic practitioners from public systems.

Which is fine. It’s just some people do clog up the normal system with minor things. I especially see this with people for whom going to an appointment is no inconvenience (no work, so the retired anf nervous mothers, etc.). The minor charge helps avoid a situation in which they have an outsized effect on health care expenditures for the state.
You should though. Most ages would benefit even if only from a quick opportunity to ask about anything that might have come up plus the chance for some bloodwork to verify nothing obvious is abnormal. Prevention is way better than getting to a problem when it’s already serious, and preventative checks can spot a lot of things (liver issues, some cancers, metabolic problems, etc.).
No, I definitely know of some people that go often only to be told that it’s just a cold or similar and that they just need to rest a few days. Not most people, but a few do overuse regular consultations, so it does make sense to have some system in place to reduce that problem (nominal charges are a valid approach here).

Okay, sorry, most people would prefer not to kill them if there’s a simple nonlethal removal. But practically speaking, to eliminate them entirely from Colombian ecosystems, there’s going to have to be some sort of cull.
