McCain and Obama Stands on Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Thanks to our Board member John Weeks and his work with The Integrator Blog, we have learned something about their respective stances on Integrative Medicine.  

One of the findings from our work is that a solid majority of Americans want Complementary and Alternative (CAM) providers as part of a basic benefit package.  CAM providers are: naturopathic physicians; acupuncture practitioners; chiropractic providers; and massage therapists. 

We had looked for some stance on this issue from the candidates and heard nothing so stopped checking. Thanks to John for his work on this issue. 

Cheers and more later.   Kathleen
