Well, prayer is the cheap way out, so I can see many employers going that way.

"We offer all of our employees the 'We'll Pray for You' health insurance plan with the upgrade to 'Oh, well, I guess it was just Gods will.' clause."

It doesn't really work worth a damn, but the premiums are very attractive.
