The U.S. Senate is presently debating health care reform and is coming to consensus but significant points of debate remain. There is still time for Franciscan values to be part of this important effort. As the Bill is being scored by the Congressional Budget Office, there are a number of unknowns. The extent of the law on public funding of abortion in the compromise is unknown, and the provisions to reduce the total cost of health care are also unknown.
FAN looks for the Senate to support policy that contributes to the common good by creating accessible health care for everybody, reducing cost, caring for life, and securing health care insurance for those who are sick and poor. Franciscans and Franciscan Hearted People must share the parameters that we, as people of faith, support in Health Care Reform.
Through this action alert, Franciscan and Franciscan-hearted must share the parameters that we as people of faith would like to see in Health Care Reform.
Please write your Senators and urge her/him to support health and life.
