Absolutely agree that the health care system should cover psychologists. However, psychotherapy does not work for EVERYONE. There are people with strong genetic biochemical psychiatric disease that require pharmacotherapy. Stating that all people would improve with psychotherapy/counseling is the equivalent of stating that all diabetics can be treated with only diet and lifestyle changes.
