[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 69592687, member: 123415"] Short answer to your question, yes! There should be defined limits as to what is and isn't valid healthcare based on scientific information. ...for a couple reasons. A) We're paying for it (whether it's private pay; through our premiums...or if it's universal; through our tax dollars) B) There's actual danger attached to it. There have been numerous stories where people, sometimes children, have gotten very sick or died because of people choosing quackery over valid medicine. It'd be like any other form of spending. I wouldn't want healthcare funding going toward homeopathy for the same reason I wouldn't want education funding going toward teaching creationism in the science classroom (my apologies to my Christian friends on CF if that comes off as snarky). I think there should be a desire to have funding being used properly... [/QUOTE]
