Letter: Doctors agree, prayer is effective

There are thousands of Americans who use faith healing on a daily basis, but maybe not for typical religious reasons. Adults and children are dying simply because they either do not have medical insurance and have been turned down for appropriate medical care or their health insurance company will not pay for their life saving surgery, medication, or treatment. How different the scenario might be if that same family was praying with all their faith for healing for their daughter because they fell into one of those categories? Would you then call the insurance company “child abusers,” or should the United States government be responsible for abusing a child or an adult to death because the current health care system does not cover all?
