Healing by Laying on of Hands

Has anyone experienced healing by laying on of hands or does anyone do this type of healing? What about long distance healing? Do you believe that you can send healing energy to those who are not in your present area? I've always thought that if I could be blessed with any gift of the spirit that I would want it to be healing. It always bothers me that there are so many ill people in the world that medical science has been unable to heal not to mention the fact of how much health insurance costs, I would love to be able to heal those who need it as well as myself when healing is necessary.
