Why Doesn’t the Government Cover Natural Medicine?

It’s no secret that pharmaceutical companies make billions off prescription drugs, but why is natural medicine so often ignored? Many people prefer natural remedies because they are gentler, more affordable, and have been used for centuries. Yet, government healthcare programs and insurance plans rarely cover them.

Instead, the system pushes lab-created pharmaceuticals, even when they have strong side effects or might not be the best option for every patient. Is this about public health, or is it about profit?

Should natural medicine be more widely accepted and covered by healthcare systems, or is there a deeper reason why it remains unsupported?
