I'm curious also as to why the Senate would consider paying for health care centered around prayer, but wouldn't support "unlicensed dietcians" that are trying to educate the general public. The primary controversy surrounding this issue is that church centered healing treatments could ask for reimbursement, much as hospitals do, and prayer techniques are offered as an option to real medical treatment. The problem is that Christian medical care providers are free to receive traditional health care whenever they need it, and their patients may not. This hypocrisy is startling, to say the least.

Prayer is also subjective, as it works for some, and not for others. Science and medicine are the only proven methods that may work for everyone who is human.
