The 2010 health care debate in Congress is over and there is a new law in the United States that, though seriously flawed, did contain elements that eventually will provide health insurance and benefits to millions of U. S. residents. We encourage you to maintain an interest in this important area of human life and dignity and visit the U.S. Conference of Bishop’s health care reform web page for additional information about the Church’s teachings.
The Catholic Conference of Kentucky is also a partner in Kentucky Voices for Health, an organization advocating to increase the number of insured persons in Kentucky.
