My thoughts is they're worried about the wrong thing. They're evading the point that God is not obligated to heal, period. God is not obligated to do anything, period. Other than being consistent with Himself and His promises (which by the way were not borne of compulsion, but His own good pleasure), the Lord is not in any way obligated to serve mankind, whether it be healing, saving, showing mercy, condemning, etc.

They need to forget about this ridiculous sidestep and deal with the condition of man, which, if God is so inclined, he may grant repentance from: Total Depravity.
