I think we should have certain treatments (massages and chiropractors...only one massage covered a month) covered with a co-pay of 20 dollars like I do for a do doctor visit. Think of how much could be saved by taking care of our bodies before they wear out, but I don't think this would happen in America as the pharmaceutical lobbyists would fight this tooth and nail.
I agree completely and I think the insurance companies are idiots for fighting this one. There are concerns about health insurance companies covering birth control, right? Well, which do you think is going to cost the health insurance company more: to cover the woman's birth control pills or to cover 9 months of pregnancy with regular doctors office visits and several prenatal prescriptions followed by childbirth and the associated hospital stay?
