Natural,alternative or Organic treatments are often less invasive,more effective and cheaper than conventional treatments,president-elect Trump already signed the " Right to Try " into law for us with life threatening diseases to use any kind of treatment that could save our lives,now that he will be back in Office he could sign a new great Executive Law that I call the " Right to Treat " , allowing Insurance Companies to pay for those Natural,Alternative or Integrative Treatments

I agree
Yes!! The pharmaceutical company won’t allow any of those proven better healthier options because they can’t put a patent on it to make money from it. How pathetic! They care more about money than they do the lives of the American people.,

Please everyone stop trying to give the Insurance Industry control.
Stop dependence on Insurance.
Insurance is a for profit business. That means they need to make money. That is why they deny claims and make Doctors keep fighting to get them paid. That is why they cut people off from treatment. Stop giving them power. They invest the premiums collected into the stock market to make profit. The stakeholders are investors. They must meet the conditions set by the investors and market to make a certain profit. That means not paying healthcare bills to increase profit. It is a for profit business.
If you start putting supplements and herbs under insurance, you are giving away the decision making to insurance instead of providers. That’s not going to be helpful. The people making decisions at the insurance corporations are not as educated as Doctors but they tell the Doctors what they can and cannot do.
It will destroy the positive impact.
In addition, to the above comment, there is already a push to make supplements prescription only. Pharm will end up taking over the supplements.
Let’s not give away our independence and power to corporations.

I suggest considering the following instead so you can maintain your freedom to spend your money where you choose instead of giving your power to the Insurance Industry. The Insurance Industry will no doubt destroy any natural, alternative, organic treatment. They have already done this with some Alternative Care. They will deny the claims and limit what can be done making it ineffective.
Instead promote programs that give you freedom to spend where you want.

Does anyone find it ironic that this proposal will expand existing health insurance and end up raising the cost of health insurance? Given the number of “policies” on this site which criticize the cost of health care and insurance, why would we want to add NEW requirements which would end up raising the cost of medical treatment to policyholders?

The idea is that introducing new, effective treatments will avoid a lot of costs down the road.
Regular fasting cures might avoid cancer - and cancer treatments.
resistance training strengthens bones - which will avoid falls, avoid treatment for broken bones, and all the reha and care that comes with it.
Doing some sort of bodywork - like massages, acupressure and similar - might strengthen general health, so issues because of malfunctioning immune systems, chronic lack of sleep, lack of focus causing accidents, etc. will diminish
yes sometimes investing in something new is a good idea to generate long term savings.

I think this should be written as “DEMAND Insurance companies pay for Alternative/Natural Treatments”. The insurance companies CAN allow it, but their greed in the almighty dollar puts sickness over health because they don’t actually want you to get better.
The treatments already exist. That is different than asking an Insurance Corporation that is for profit business that invests in the stock market to cover certain care. By putting this type of care in the hands of a for profit business whose major stakeholders are investors in the stock market it will destroy those treatments.
A root cause study needs to be done and once the root cause is found then ise all natural things not pharma
