Should christians be allowed to be medically treated?

Christians believe that everything that happens is the will of god. God moves in mysterious ways and all that bunk. Well, since they don't believe in science and believe in the will of god, should they be allowed to clog up our hospitals and emergency rooms? Shouldn't they just go to their respective churches for treatment. Or better yet, just stay home and pray!
If I was a believer, I would certainly practice what I preached. Every substantial sized military unit has a chaplain. Shouldn't his job be expanded to heal the christian wounded, instead of carting those christians off to MASH units? The VA hospitals wouldn't be so crowded. And just think of the medical insurance cost that these christians would save.
I submit that if you are a christian or a person of faith that you not waste your time and my money by going to a hospital or seeing a doctor. Your priest, rabbi, or cleric should be able to cure you of your wounds and or ills.
Let's say you lose your leg in battle, well just have the chaplain pray you a new one. There, problem solved.
