Progressives, is using targeted radio waves to cure cancer legal under obamacare?

Just wondering, cause I know how you love giving the best healthcare possible, plus if you can save a buck at the same time, that's awesome, right? For years (and by years I mean way more than 20 years) there have been doctors that have used targeted radio waves to kill cancer cells without harming the patients, but the federal government always came in and shut them done everytime. As Progressives, did you seek to make curing cancer legal in your prized "healthcare" law?

    God help us if Obama Care is not struck down by the Supreme Court.

    This has nothing to do with Obama care, it is a matter of approval by the FDA.

    RF waves combined with gold nano particle in the tumor is undergoing clinical trials and if shown to be effective it will be approved, As far as I know RF waves alone is not effective,and since RF is long wave length radiation they can not be targeted. It is the gold injected into the tumor that causes the energy to be absorbed in the tumor but not by healthy cells in the surrounding tissue.
