How is government going to be ‘in charge’ of health care? I’m pretty damn sure that Medicaid is not going to be covering aromatherapy in the near future, they won’t even cover acupuncture.

Once everyone is under the same umbrella, you’ll see the emergence of political interest groups pushing for coverage of their own favorite quackery through the political system. Politicians being what they are will be only too happy to grant such coverage through mandates.

The legislature of New York State is considering a bill that would bann the use of salt by all restaurants in the state. It seems more than obvious that politicians will attempt to exert influence over health care in the most ludicrous and unsupported ways simply because it’s already happening.
