From my Non-American view, this is a classic case for the need of regulation. The government define a set of medical treatments that were scientifically proved, don't allow the insurance companies to deny the request of medical treatments from the doctor.
The only problems we face is some malicious doctors requests unnecessary treatments, or malicious doctor and patient working together to request the money for treatments that didn't happen. But these are trivial fraud techniques and it happens anyway regardless of context so it can be dealt with usual criminal law system.
- wincy 7y agoThe Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) included mandatory insurance funding for homeopathy, chiropractors, acupuncture, and naturopaths. My wife worked at a chiropractors office who got paid by Medicare to shock elderly diabetics legs while they chowed down on candy bars. Homeopathy is one of the dumbest scams known to man, and I don’t really know about the other two but I wouldn’t call them “medicine”. The more government there is around to fund things, the more dumb bloat there is and we’ll get more glorified massage therapists cutting children’s “tongue ties” and selling amber teething necklaces for $40. Let people waste their own money on this stuff.
