I have friends who keep arguing politically to force GOVT and taxpayers to pay for health care while not wanting the death penalty.

I offered the solution of Christian Spiritual Healing, which can be scientifically proven effective through medical studies comparing statistics on "before and after" conditions of patients, to cure not only causes of cancer and other expensive diseases more cost effectively, but can also cut crime or prevent it by early diagnosis and treatment of criminal ills, abuse and addiction filling our prisons and wasting billions of dollars.

Currently TX spends 50K per year per person in prison who cannot work but depends on state welfare for themselves and family they are taken away from.

If we convert prisons into Teaching Hospitals to offer Spiritual Healing to cure criminal disorders, like any other dangerous diseases, how many Doctors and Nurses could be trained for that same money?

Is it ethical to keep running prisons that punish mental and criminal illness instead of curing it?

Is it ethical to require the option to fund medical research, development and assistance with Spiritual Healing that only works by Christian Prayer for deliverance and there is no secular substitute?

I think the solution would stop the forced funding of health care through govt, which doesn't provide the services needed, and imvest resources into programs that do work.

The govt can still set up SITES per district to provide for population demands proportionally.

But wouldn't the programs run inside treatment centers and clinics have to be run by the people? Not everyone agrees on health care policies and terms of service (look at prochoice and prolife refusal to fund the other, and now masks and vaccines that not all people believe in mandating).

How can we exercise religious freedom?

Wouldn't it help to prove and promote Christian Spiritual Healing to solve problems, saving lives and resources, in order to fund better health care and education with the same money currently wasted on failed prison and mental health systems that are making people worse?

The governments (federal, state, and municipal) are not interested in solving problems. They are interested only in CREATING problems . So while your suggestions are good, no one is going to bother trying to fix any problem. In any event it is far too late to fix anything.
