How come health insurance pays for stuff like acupuncture and naturopathy? I suspect it is to get patients with chronic nonfatal mild conditions onto cheaper regimens that may not actually work but do no harm and cost less than mainstream stuff.

That's probably true in aggregate, but does not seem to be true on the margin. The tiny number of RCTs we've done and a variety of longitudinal studies suggest that marginal medicine is ineffective. (Marginal = "the medical treatments that get cut first if we reduce spending.")
