Health Care is a Basic Right for All |
A message from the Executive Director:
At a recent meeting of the Interfaith Council of Western Massachusetts, the discussion turned to the debate on health care. The Council consists of faith leaders from the Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Unitarian-Universalist traditions. In addition, NCCJ is the only human relations organization to sit on this council. While participating in the dialogue I volunteered to put together ideas for an editorial. Below are my thoughts as well as the thoughts of the Interfaith Council.
As a people of faith, we care about making comprehensive and compassionate health care reform a reality in the United States. We are at our best when we seek opportunities to dialogue about the issue through the lens of our faith values and the measure of social justice. We believe that currently this "discussion" on health care is being driven by fear.
