Today the House released their version of the health care reform bill that did not include language requiring private and public health plans to cover spiritual care for any person. This “spiritual care” includes reimbursements for payments that Christian Scientists make to members of the Church who pray for them when they are ill.
“Requiring American taxpayers to reimburse Christian Scientists and other religious sects that deny themselves and their children necessary medical care would have been incredibly unethical in addition to a violation of church state separation, said Sean Faircloth, Executive Director of the Secular Coalition. “I am thrilled that the House of Representatives has chosen to remove language that would have required Americans to foot the bill for religion-based care. Their actions demonstrate that common sense secular values are being heard in the halls of Congress.â€
This will save the lives of children, or at least prevent us all from having to pay for their unnecessary deaths. We should dedicate this victory to Madeline Neuman, who died at the hands of her ignorant, primitive and dogmatic Christian parents.
Good news, now what can we do about homeopathic fraud.
Religious healers should be doing the work anyway, out of the kindness of their hearts. If the receiver of such services wants to pay them out of pocket, let them. If it leads to an unnecessary death that modern medicine could have avoided, then let them face the full force of the law.
Obama is out to destroy UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.We can barely afford to care for our own hiv/aids victims and this jerk lifts the travel ban on persons with hiv/aids.Who do you think will foot the bill for migrants with aids the taxpayer will as sure as the sun rises.
