Apples and oranges. In 1938 medical care was largely palliative. The Germans in 1938 didn’t have nearly as much to lose with state controlled health care as we do today.
Allopathic "medical care" was indeed largely palliative then. But in Nazi Germany, and then America, Naturopathy, Homeopathy and Osteopathy (and later Chiropractic, and also Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and Ayurveda, as well as Rife technology), had to be restricted, and then defined out of existence so that Allopathic medicine could finally claim to be all of medicine, and any other medical practitioners legally wiped out.
