Answer to Question 1

Rationale: Some health insurance companies and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) appear to be bowing to public pressure by including providers of alternative therapies in their networks of providers for treatments such as acupuncture and massage therapy. Chiropractic care has been covered by some third-party payers for many years. Interest in holistic health care is increasing worldwide. A large number of U.S. medical schoolsamong them Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, and Georgetown Universitiesnow offer coursework in holistic methods. The American Medical Association encourages its members to become better informed regarding the practices and techniques of alternative or unconventional medicine.
