Code Pink seems to have the "Lieberman 9" today. I think they were making user's point to the I-Conn.

NECN has some good footage in this 4min report. I think they play a :30 promo first. Worth it for the onscene coverage, even though the reporter is in Hartford. Someone did the vid though.

Re: Dems play hardball with the insurance douches
Oh my. Maybe the insurance companies will be required to pony up for Christian Science prayer treatments.
It gets amusinger and amusinger.
http://www.latimes.com/features/health/ … full.story
Backed by some of the most powerful members of the Senate, a little-noticed provision in the healthcare overhaul bill would require insurers to consider covering Christian Science prayer treatments as medical expenses.
Is there a monetary cost associated with Christian Science Prayer? How is such a thing reimbursed? Are there professional Christian Scientist pray-ers?

just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,

Re: Dems play hardball with the insurance douches
I don't know, but I assume there are at least general office expenses, and I suspect the practitioners do get paid, just like many Christian counselors get paid.
For "prayer" though - such expenses really should be paid for by the church providing the service.
I can walk into almost any church and ask to pray with an elder or pastor and it will happen without me dropping a dime.
Counselors are usually certified by the state, that's a little different.

In your article they mention that "the prayer treatments can cost as little as $20 a day", so I guess there must be "pro" people who pray (at least part-time).

Re: Dems play hardball with the insurance douches
"as little as"?
So there's a pay scale? What do you get for more - nicer couches?
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

No idea--maybe more people praying for you? Or for a longer time?

I agree.
What is your opinion on the government forcing people with a religious objection to medicine to either buy a plan they object to or pay a fine?

Re: Dems play hardball with the insurance douches
They can buy any plan that they want to.
I suppose that the people who don't want modern medicine could come up with their own group that pays for prayers, but, really, that a pretty tiny group.
My comment, however, was a jab at the Senator that I heard saying that in order to respect the views of the anti-abortion citizens, we should disallow payment of a legal procedure, despite the fact that the citizen seeking said procedure has an equal claim.
