Dental Coverage is considered premium-plus under the Pelosi bill, so don’t worry it will be one of the last things covered.

Of course we cannot leave out the herbalists and acupuncturists. The practitioners of ancient Chinese medicine will want included in the benefit package. Yoga instructors and massage therapists too. Also, let us not neglect coverage for pastoral counselors or marriage counselors. And of course, coverage for health spas to maintain mental health is a must. The list of the special interests who will want to be included in the benefit package is endless. And this is just a partial list of providers. Also expect the lobbyists who advocate for specific diseases to weigh in. Expect the dental associations to lobby for mandated dental coverage.

Maybe people should be able to choose: Prayer or surgery, but not both. Actually prayer treatments ought to be a lot less expensive unless they are added onto traditional medicine.
