Consumer-directed health care.

Why should the government cover ONLY a drug-and-surgery mantra when the consumer (along with the health care provider and other taxpayers) believes an alternative to be more efficacious (eg acupuncture and herbs)? For this reason I want:
1) An end to the medico monopoly via recognition of a vetting, competing health paradigm;
2) Pro-rated funding of the health-care consumer rather than the health-care provider (ie choice in health care); and,
3) A restriction of the governmental role (ostensibly) to approval, certification, inspection, and enforcement.
