Wisconsin Council of Churches Weighs in on Health Care Reform
August 28, 2009
Let your voice be heard on health care reform! “Health care is not an optional commodity. Health Care is a fundamental good grounded in the fact that each person is endowed by God with transcendent value.”
With this statement on health care reform, the Wisconsin Council of Churches (WCC) is asking for your help in keeping “moral and religious principles in view” as Congress and the Administration hammer out national health care legislation.
Visit the WCC new web page, “People of Faith and Health Care Reform,” for more about faith principles for health care reform, resources and further info.
