Dump Orrin Hatch alt-med national healthcare

Utah’s senior senator, perhaps the Senate’s No. 1 backer of alt-medical “treatment,” snuck a deal in Senate HELP Committee’s national healthcare bill to pay for Christian Science prayer treatments and such. It doesn’t mention the church by name, but the rider forbids discrimination against “spiritual medicine.”

Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.), whose district includes a Christian Science school, Principia College, introduced a similar measure in the House.

So, theoretically, this could include what? Scientology engram reading? New Age sweat lodges?
