Health Care, in Today's News 10.15.09

Health Care. The Church Bishops have released another statement on the proposed Obama health care legislation. The Bishops commendably expressed their disappointment that the Senate Finance Committee passed its version of health reform legislation without resolving problems related to abortion funding, conscience rights, affordability and legal immigrants. The Bishops say they will oppose the law if it stands as written now.

One can only applaud the Bishops if they oppose the legislation, no matter what the reason. Let us hope they have the backbone to carry through.
