Here are some out takes from the article on Howard Dean and his ideas on healthcare:

"1. Federally subsidized insurance would pay for chiropractic treatment without referral or oversight of a physician. 'As President of the United States, I will work towards further integrating chiropractic care into these systems-and into all federal health care programs and systems where chiropractic is excluded or not adequately provided"

"4. Empower pharmacists and other non-physician providers to manage the cases of Medicaid patients"

"7. Work with organized labor to establish home care nursing unions"...the Sopranos meet grandma and the LPN's. Gotta have a smoking break...its in my union bylaws

"11. Encourage and facilitate the sale of prescriptoin durgs on the internet from foreign countries"

"Mr. Dean promises to : Allow Nurse practitioners practice independently; Expand the role and compensation of Nurse Practitioners"

"Governor Dean believes that, as an interist, the majority of people he saw on a first visit could have received excellent care from a competent nurse practtioner, without his direct supervision"
