[QUOTE="pickup, post: 659160"] I can't even follow that above sentence.:knockedout: My raising of this issue was to highlight that members of a recognized religion would be forced to pay for something that their beliefs would never allow them to utilize. I think there has to be some inherent constitutional issues in that. After realizing that if I thought about it, that certainly christian scientists thought about it. I googled the "health insurance bill and christian scientists" and found that the christian scientists were trying to get the costs of their prayer treatments included in the bill . If that is allowed ( I don't know if that made it into the final approved measures) then that definitely opens many constitutional issues as well as presenting the conundrum of where do you draw the line and which religion's curative methods don't get covered.
