http://www.insurepanow.org Faith Leaders from Across the Commonwealth to Declare it’s Time to “Insure PA Now”!
PHILADELPHIA: On Sunday, May 18, more than 1,000 congregations representing faiths from across Pennsylvania will focus their sermons on the need to expand the access to affordable, quality healthcare. This is the second statewide clergy day focusing on healthcare. The first “Justice for All” event, held in February featured 247 congregations.
“Providing access to affordable, quality health insurance isn’t just a ‘public policy’ question, it’s a moral question,” said Pastor Bill Devlin, the leader of the statewide faith coalition. “Every faith believes that it is critical to care for our physical being as well as spiritual need. Without access to care, too many people are unable to do that – and that is morally wrong.”
During this weekend’s events, the need for healthcare reform will be highlighted during services across Pennsylvania . At each location, congregants will be asked to add their name to the growing list of Pennsylvanians who demand that elected officials enact real healthcare reform now. Elected officials will be presented with the names of their constituents who support immediate healthcare reform.
...
In March, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed “Pennsylvania Access to Basic Care” (PABC) (SB 1137), a plan that will provide access to care for almost 250,000 uninsured adults. The plan will also provide special grants to small employers to help them cover the costs for their employees and protect Pennsylvania ’s physicians by extending state help for their insurance premiums. The bill awaits action in the state Senate.
Pennsylvanians United for Affordable Healthcare is a 501(c)4 organization dedicated to improving the access to affordable, quality healthcare. To learn more or to join our coalition, visit www.insurepanow.org
Although we are not a faith organization, this is NOT a faith issue. However, I DO agree that THIS is what churches should be doing -- uniting to help all people without pushing religion.
We DO need healthcare reform (not just in PA), and this effort seems to be right on the money.
