Religion and Health Access
USC's Center for Religion and Civic Culture offers this Internet resource to stimulate informed debate within California's faith communities about the nation's and the state's health care crises.
The Center regards America's broken system of health insurance to be a moral, even a religious, issue. The Center does not advocate particular pieces of health care reform legislation. But, in the interest of informed debate, it offers descriptions and criticisms of proposals that are currently being advanced.
The next months will see a great deal of activity both at the national and state levels. Fundamental changes in the ways Americans will access health care are being advanced.
