The insurance companies are part of the largest lobbiest AGAINST nationalized health care. It will be interesting to see if a Democrat wins the white house and the Democrats control the house and the Senate, if nationalized health care will become a reality...



>>Here they are now going so far as to recommend annual blood tests, ct scans, mri, and ultrasound as a wholebody holistic prevention. There are so many screening tests to do it is amazing. Then there are the recent vaccines such as the HPV vaccine for teens. I figure by the time I do all that and add in the annual pap, mammogram, et al who knows what cancer I will have developed from the tests! They also test for nutritional imbalances, allergens, amino acids, vitamins, fatty acids, trace metals, pesticides, and other pollutants. Some insurance companies cover it but most still do not. It won't be long though...
