USCCB Position on Health Care Reform
Who says I don’t have a better idea on health care. My Faith Tradition does:
* 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

Bishop William Murphy, July 17, 2009
Call your members of Congress (use the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 to contact your Representative or Senators) and tell them health care reform should:
1. Include health care coverage for all people from conception until natural death, and continue the federal ban on funding for abortions;
2. Include access for all with a special concern for the poor;
3. Pursue the common good and preserve pluralism, including freedom of conscience; and
4. Restrain costs and apply costs equitably among payers.
