    I urge Congress to remove all provisions in the health care reform bills that require insurers to reimburse for prayer or any other “health care” that is not evidence-based.

    Regardless of the efficacy of prayer (none), the government paying for medical care based on a religious act or belief system is a violation of church state separation. The government cannot pay for prayer or religious acts.

    Until prayer can be scientifically proven to have more than a placebo effect regarding medical treatment, religious and/or spiritual activities or behaviors should not be treated in legislation as forms of health care. There is a separation of Church and State for many reasons. If prayer as an alternative to medicine wasn't a reason before, IT IS NOW.

    Some people would say that it is a parent's right to hold back on medical treatment for their kid, especially if it was because of religious reasons. But don't you think the right to LIFE is a bit more important than the definition of "sin" from god?

    There was a recent case in my state where a little girl died because of her parents using prayer instead of getting the medical care that could have easily prevented her death. I can't help but feel that if religion hadn't been involved, there would be no dispute over whether or not those "parents" were guilty.
