"Genuine health care reform that protects the life and dignity of all is a moral imperative and a vital national obligation."

--Bishop William F. Muprhy, Chairman of the USCCB Committee on Domestic Justice & Human Development


The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' position on Health Care reform includes:

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.
