The Saskatchewan New Democrats are promising to reinstate the universal patient subsidy for chiropractic visits.

The subsidy, $12 per visit, was cut for most people in the 2010 provincial budget.

Now, for many people, a visit to a chiropractor is an out-of-pocket expense and costs around $35.

NDP leader Dwain Lingenfelter says reinstating the subsidy would help people who do not have a health plan.

"If you're a young athlete in high school, if you're a senior citizen, if you're a farmer," Lingenfelter said. "Many, many people — in fact, the majority — don't have plans that cover off the service, so they have to pay the full fare."
