The United States allows religious organizations certain tax benefits. Usually, when the U.S. Government investigates the finances of a religious organization, they are attempting to see if the organization is actually a for-profit group that is either pretending to be a religion or has attached itself to a ligitimate religious organization in order to get tax benefits to which they are not entitled. If they see large incomes by certain members in charge of a church, they begin to get "intrigued." What faces the investigators is the very difficult task of defining the boundary between ligitimate and illigitimate profit and figuring out the intentions of individuals. Not an enviable task at all.

Sorry, I meant comforts of course, but for some reason typed "comfits".

Yeah you have a good point - ultimately the homecoming to being in the presence of the Lord is the "ultimate healing" as you said.
