This is much more than a struggle over health care policy.  It is a struggle for the soul of America between those who champion a culture of death and those who proclaim a culture of life.  Pope Francis has noted that health care is a right, and it’s clear to all but the wilfully blind that the attempt to kill ‘Obamacare’ would, quite literally, kill thousands of people each and every year, year after year.  Any reduction in the already inadequate levels of health care provided for the poor would simply be an attack on the ‘right to life’ of American citizens, and on the precepts of Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular.  Let us pray that those working to reduce or eliminate public health care in America and so sentence thousands to death for the crime of not being rich fail, and that America can move forward affirming the right to life for all its citizens.
