I’d like to refer you to a letter my friend Bishop Anthony Taylor of Little Rock sent to all the Arkansan congressmen. In it, he refers to health care as, “…not a privilege, but a right.” He also states there must be, “… a requirement to protect the life and dignity of every person.” He later writes, “Health care is a fundamental issue of human life and dignity. Health care is a critical component of the Catholic Church’s ministry.” He calls for a “truly universal health policy with respect for human life and dignity; access for all with a special concern for the poor and inclusion of immigrants.”
