"I was being very broad with my ideas, sort of dumped my brain into the textbox, not specificaly saying that a hospital would put a contract out on someone's life, but other people that might be makeing a ton of money on a hospital and would do anyhting to protect a buisness interest "
What is the difference between a hospital putting a contract on someone and people that might be making a ton of money from the hospital? Seems like a distinction without a difference. Obviously a hospital building isn't going to target anyone, but you're suggesting that people associated with it will.
"Also I was refering to the particularly crazy sect of religeous peeps that dont seek medical care or take medications because everything is "gods will", and they absolutly could see all supers as unnatural."
What, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, and Christian Scientists? Not exactly a very violent bunch here. And why not assassinate people who fly too? After all, angels fly too, so are fliers not unholy?
"Also the setting in the core rule book (i dont have it in front of me now) describes a division of healers with the really talented being available to the rich and located in switzerland or someplace. They could take afront to someone handing it out for free."
There are all sorts of professionals who do pro bono work, and a smaller number who are full-time charitable. Do doctors who work for cash put contracts out on docs who work for free clinics in the real world?
"And our politicians dont listen to the people, there is no way that we could put pressure on a politician to do anything. They already do what they want."
So, public pressure has never influenced politicians to enact alcohol prohibition, pass civil rights legislation, or make gay marriage more available, for example?
"/i also just realized that all this is ridiculous because its a game with Super Heroes anything goes and anything will."
And role playing settings don't have to make any sense at all?

Even if they could heal several hundred a day, think of how many sick people there are in even one large city. And think of all the people with incurable conditions. Why would any hospital be against them being treated? If a healer decided to specialize in patients with incurable problems, no hospital would have a problem with that. They could even use it to market themselves - "if your condition turns out to be incurable, our hospital has a contract with a terrific healer to treat you." This would be a win-win for everyone. The healer could be a celebrity who brings more patients to the hospital associated with them and the hospital would provide them with incurable patients. The PR would be great for everyone.The idea that hospitals would put contracts out on healers strikes me as bizarre. And why would religious extremists just target healers? Would not all supers be seen as unnatural, if it came to that? And would someone really want to put a lot of effort into persecuting healers when they or someone in their family might someday need their services? Public pressure on politicians would likely be strong and pro-healer.

I ,for one, would up-play the hospitals as a buisness aspect of our world. A hospital doesnt make money off empty beds, and anyone selling their healing powers at a premium would probebly have a big problem with someone bouncing around doing it for free. I would hound the absolute crap out of a character with contracts on their life, legistlation, and religeous nutbags. Not to mention what a local union might have to say.--To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to cult-of-ore...@googlegroups.com.
