Have You Added Your Voice to Health Care Reform?

Now is the time, while our elected officials are home for the month, to let them know how we feel about the many elements of healthcare reform being discussed on the airwaves, in public forums, in the media. Make a difference! Make three phone calls or send three emails and ask your friends and families to do the same. Pick your representatives from the list below.

Here’s the position of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops:

  • a truly universal health policy with respect for human life and dignity
  • access for all with a special concern for the poor and inclusion of legal immigrants
  • pursuing the common good and preserving pluralism including freedom of conscience and variety of options
  • restraining costs and applying them equitably across the spectrum of payers

And here’s what Bishop William F. Murphy has said:  ”Genuine health care reform that protects the life and dignity of all is a moral imperative and a vital national obligation.”
