Skepticism, Science & Pseudoscience

And our public tax dollars support many of them through programs like state-level Medicaid programs, which dole out millions of dollars to providers delivering quack (non-evidence-based) "therapies." Not only does it waste money, but it wastes valuable developmental time for children who could otherwise be receiving therapies that actually work.

As you may guess, this is personal for me and quite a sore point. I've watched families choose "therapies" delivered by persuasive practitioners, who in the end deliver nothing, but they do collect substantial income.
