...yet who elects these morons? The people of this country.
As I was perusing the news in my feed reader I stumbled onto this gem: Christian Scientists seek prayer provision. At first I was laughing at how ludicrous a notion this is until...
Such a provision was passed by committees in both the House and the Senate this year, but was stripped from the House bill as well as the current version being debated in the Senate.
What!?! This was actually being considered!? It was actually on it's way into becoming the wording in a Health Care Reform Bill.
What are we going to do? Pay priests, preachers, pastors, imams and gurus for medical care? This would legitimize all kinds of unsavory and fraudulent practices. I mean: are we going to license prayer? How will we know they are accredited? I got it!!! The prayer practitioner will have to show a success rate. There we go!
"Well, Mrs. Smith. I think I'm going to have to refer you to a specialist. I know a very good one."
