Why does God heal some people and not others?

This bothers me.  We lost Tammy Faye to cancer with pain and we lose many othes.  She had a nation praying for her.  My Aunt went through the same suffering, had many people praying, and she died with a bible in her hand and was a regular church goer.  I watch the 700 Club a lot and they are always having these healing stories.  People will hear one of them praying for a condition or disease to be gone, and the person claims it and God heals them.  What is the thing?  He picks and chooses?  Were the people who suffered and died not watching 700 Cub, or should have been and they's be ok?  Years ago I heard the reason some die is because God wants them in heaven.  But, I have heard that no one gets there until he returns, so they are just in limbo, waiting.  I mean, there are serial rapists and murderers older than tammy Faye, who will never even see the light of day again.  What is the deal?  Can someone explain to me why some people are getting healed and some are not?  Are some diseases too hard for God to get rid of?  I don't get it.

Some would say Tammy is a bad person and deserved it.  So, do people who get sick not get healed by God because they are not good people?  That would explain a lot, but I really thought Tammy was a wonderful person.  Is there something I don't know?  They say God doesn't punish.  Ok, so, I am confused.  So, if you go get yourself a disease and pray and pray and believe God for a miracle,  and it doesn't happen, does that mean he just doesn't think you are worth saving?  Can we view the people who are healed as better people in the eyes of God?  And, what about the children who get diseases and die?  Many are innocent, and despite many prayers and faith, they die.  it seems like such a waste of life when we have tons of criminals out there hurting and killing good people every day...or are they hurting and killing bad people?  Is there something we don't know?  So, how are we supposed to pray and believe when around us we see people doing this to no avail?  Some would say, it's God's will, don't question it.  So, if that is the answer, I guess I wrote all this for nothing, and probably many others have, too.
