Whoa, Boy, Slow Down: You're Hitting Bone

"Some services – chiropractic and homeopathic, for example – are not covered by Alberta Health Services and are only modestly covered in supplementary health plans, if at all because these services, especially homeopathy, have not demonstrated health outcomes sufficient to justify public payment. Practitioners dispute this but, especially in the case of homeopathy, the evidence would appear to justify the exclusion of these services."
-- Stephen Murgatroyd, on Canada's Alberta Health Services - which, surprisingly, doesn't seem to be pushing the quackery very much - at least not in an article called, "How health care works in Alberta", that I got through Troy Media.
