Bishops seek moral, real national reform

As long-time advocates of health care reform, the U.S. Catholic bishops continue to make the moral case for genuine health care reform that will protect the life, dignity, consciences and health of all, especially the poor and vulnerable. As debate continues in the Senate, the Bishops are keeping a close watch on the issues. Learn more about the health care debate, the latest developments, and what the Church is doing to promote just and moral national health care through the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
