Will Obama-care cover faith healing?

A Time Magazine report at the link below wonders if universal health care (Obama’s move to force us into socialized medicine) should cover faith healing.

As Washington prepares for a summer-long debate over how to reform health care, lobbyists for every conceivable interest group have camped out in congressional anterooms to press their case.

There are advocates for doctors, insurance companies, patients, nurses, pharmaceutical companies, big business and small business. And for faith healers too.

Of course, they wouldn't call themselves "faith healers."

They argue that the term dismisses what they do as simple wishful thinking.

But practitioners of Christian Science as well as other alternative therapies — including acupuncture, biofeedback, herbal medicine, holistic medicine and Reiki, a Japanese healing and relaxation technique — are intent on influencing the coming health-care-reform process.

Where would the line be drawn? Would some forms of quackery be included? How about voodoo?
