Catholics United Statement on House Passage of Health Care Reform Bill

Catholics United executive director Chris Korzen issued the following statement today in response to the U.S. House of Representatives' passage of the Affordable Health Care for America Act:

“Today is an historic day for Catholics and all who believe that quality affordable health care is a fundamental human right. We are proud to stand with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Catholic Health Association, and other Catholic groups who have lent their unified support to this bill.”

“With the passage of health care reform in the House of Representatives, we move one step closer to a day when all Americans have the coverage they deserve. We thank Congress for its decisive action on this important issue, and look forward to the passage of a Senate bill in the coming weeks.”
