candidates for healthcare, pro-TCM?

[Guest guest]

Has anyone been following the campaign with regards to which candidates have the

most

favorable stances towards alternative medicine? I've heard that certain big

name candidate,

such as hillary clinton, are backed by big pharma, and that their plans would

cut out

alternative medicine even to the extent of not covering chiropractic, which for

the most part

is almost entierly accepted by western medicine. I definitely believe in

healthcare reform,

although I'm not sure that restricting access to alternative care is the way to

do it. I did visit

the clinton political site, and it appears that she is for opening up choices

with regards to

generics to keep the cost down, so on the surface it would seem that this would

be contra-

big pharma. what's the word in the acu/alternative/naturopath community?

I definitely believe in healthcare reform,

 

 

Health care reform or universal health care will cut TCM right out of the pie.

The little coverage that is out there will disappear. It is far better to allow

the market place to dictate health care. As people continue to demand our

services, and the insurance companies see that those who get our services have

fewer costly procedures, they will follow the money. Universal health care will

bow to special interest who will fight for the public dole. Government CANNOT

run health care successfully. The only way to keep them from wasting our money,

is to give them less.

May I respectfully suggest we think twice before launching into this particular

discussion?
