"Evidence-based medicine (EBM) aims to apply evidence gained from the scientific method to certain parts of medical practice." - wkipedia.

What on earth is "right-wing" about that?



Nothing! But many right wing policies are pushed in the name of EBM; in practice it's been used to cut down on medical options for the poor.

Everyone should of course be for applying scientific evidence to medical practice.


Is that a feature of USA'ian health politics (which I don;t follow that closely), or does it happen here in the Uk too?
