maybe what we need to do is adopt ALL religions strictures against medicine.. lets
start with teh Christian Scientists. how many people would like that? Ingrid



covered. That would mean no birth control, no treatments derived from stem
cell research, no fertility treatments, no euthanasia.


It would be interesting to see how many people would oppose treatment when
their own life is on the line, rather then someone else's.


This is way OT for a pond group, but I suggest that you and your friend
look into recent lawsuits and publicity concerning in particular birth
control pills not being dispensed or covered under insurance. I think you
will find that plenty of people would actually support such a health plan,
particularly the birth control portion. There have been several cases of
pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions or catholic hospitals not
covering certain treatments under their employees health plan on "moral
grounds".
