My healthcare is more than just "medical." It involves whatever treatment and prevention is needed to allow me to function with the best health possible, and I consider my mental health part of my entire healthcare.
I did not say anything about medical model or insurance. I think for the purposes of my question they can be separated, but if they are inexorably linked for you -then fine. Just that I was not looking for a discussion of payment or insurance one way or the other.
