The Catholic Health Association of the United States has released a draft document, Our Vision for U.S. Health Care, which includes principles against which reform proposals can be assessed.
Included are principles stating that the healthcare system should “provide a basic health benefit package to everyone” and “never limit access to health care coverage based on one’s age, health status, employment status or financial means.”
The principles are being made available for comments from Catholic health care leaders, caregivers, administrators, and other professionals, whose input will shape the final document to be released later this year. Download Our Vision for U.S. Health Care.
