and I fully agree with that.  I am questionning a person's right to choose
his/her treatment  even Voodoo and a witch doctor, but if that witch doctor
is not licensed to practice medicine, there should no SSI.  Similarly, if the
patient refuses the accepted and approved treatment from a recognized and
licenced medical practitioner, the patient cannot expect to receive monies
from the Social Security System.  There are too many charlatans out there and
thieves and illegal practices that already draw much too much money under the
guise of medical practice. Alternate medicine may be good for many people,
but they have to be rational and proven.
