Can you believe this article?

Actually, you don't even have to read the whole thing, if you don't want to.  I recommend against it.  It’s depressing.

Just read this bit here:

Church lobbyists are now asking that the state allow insurance plans to reimburse prayer practitioners, who can charge $20 to $50 for a day's worth of prayer, says Wanda Jane Warmack, the church's legislative manager.

Should they be successful, I propose that we all convert to Christian Science...become "Certified Prayer Practitioners" and then, when called to the bedside of an ailing child, begin babbling randomly over the child for a period of time, then eventually fall into an imitation of an epileptic seizure, and then "Come out of it" and proclaim:

"God told me to take this child to a hospital immediately.  That'll be $50 please."

We can then take the $50 and donate it to an organization that promotes science education.

Sheesh.

In a few years, we could have people looking up the Procedure Code for "casting out the Spinal Meningitis Deamon".

Medical reimbursement rates:

Diagnosing a demonic possession:  100% compensation

Casting out of deamon:                90%  compensation

dispersion of a demonic miasma:  (elective procedure) 40% compensation.

The comfort of knowing that your insurance company will pay the cost of having an all-loving all-powerful being protect you in a hostile, corrupt, and incomprehensible universe filled with demons and goblins who are relentlessly stalking your immortal soul:           Priceless.
