Oh, and on a related issue...

Backed by some of the most powerful members of the Senate, a little-noticed provision in the health care overhaul bill would require insurers to consider covering Christian Science prayer treatments as medical expenses.

That provision comes to us courtesy of Orrin Hatch (who will probably vote against the bill anyway), by way of his friends John Kerry and Teddy Kennedy.

Holistic medicine and the U.S. Senate are high on my poop list right now.
