I think Wizards and Sorcerers should get at at least some healing spells, perhaps comparable to the Druid. It doesn't make sense that arcane magic can turn you into a troll, but can't heal you. And clerics do get some blasting abilities, so a wizard might be able to get some healing abilities.
More to the point, why is it that bards can do arcane healing but wizards and sorcerers can't?
we have been using they can cast heal spells but at 1 level higher then a cleric in my game.seems to work out ok.
Why? It really makes no sense.

It make sense if you want the PCs to depends on each other. It was Gagax idea when he created the class system.
Well I meant in game. But that is a good point, except that giving Wizards that level of healing I think would not really break the game. But there's no way the Bard should lose healing.
Well I disagree. I see no reason why Arcane Spellcasters shouldn't be able to heal, except that that's the way it's always been. Except it isn't because the Bard can cast healing spells. The Druid not being able to Animate Dead and the Bard not being able to shoot Lightning Bolts make sense to me. Arcane casters not being able to heal, it despite being able to transform it's user into various creatures which is a similar effect and even actually has the side effect of healing them? Not so much.
it makes plently of sense, wizards dont need healing. the real question is why do the druid and cleric have so much of the arcanist boom power

That's easy. When gods tell you to smite, you smite. You don't ask why:)
