Abstract

It is important to bring Catholic social teaching to bear on the decisions we make as responsible citizens, particularly in regard to the policies we support. With regard to health policy, it is my belief that, in this country, we will not have a just health care policy or meaningful health reform until the people in this country demand it. I do not believe it is a factor of who gets elected president anywhere near as much as an intensity of will on the part of the citizens of this country to demand a just health care policy. That intensity of will is essential to resist the blitz of misinformation designed to convince the American people that we cannot have a just health care policy and health care reform that covers everyone. For us as Catholics, we come to decisions about what is a just health care policy based largely on the Church’s social teaching.
