Health Care ReformYour involvement neededCongress is reaching a critical time in the debate on health carereform!The U.S. Bishops' Conference has concluded that all committeeapprovedbills are seriously deficient on the issues of abortion andconscience protection, as well as on access to health care forimmigrants and the poor. Genuine health care reform should protectthe life and dignity of all people from the moment of conceptionuntil natural death. The bills must be changed during floorconsideration.Senator Bayh can be instrumental in making a difference. It isimportant that he hear from his constituents.How You Can RespondCall Senator Bayh at 202-224-5623 or email at www.bayh.senate.govAsk him to:1. Exclude mandated coverage for abortion, and incorporatelongstanding policies against abortion funding and in favor ofconscience rights. No one should be required to pay for or participatein abortion. No current bill meets this test.2. Adopt measures that protect and improve people’s health care.Reform should make quality health care affordable and accessible toeveryone, particularly those who are poor and vulnerable.3. Include effective measures to safeguard the health of immigrants,their children and all of society. Ensure that legal immigrants andtheir family members have comprehensive, affordable, and timelyaccess to health care coverage. Maintain an adequate safety net forthose who remain uncovered.Be sure to check the Indiana Catholic Conference website for upto-dateinformation and action alerts at www.indianacc.orgReligious EducationCheerfulness strengthens the heart and makes uspersevere in a good life.
