Healthcare Issues

Healthcare as a civil right for all, not just for the wealthy. In the United States, health is sold to those who have the means to buy it, or at least those who have the means to have insurance. It is a moral issue when the wealthiest democracy on the planet sees nothing wrong with allowing sick men, women and children to go without healthcare, even when it costs them their lives. What sort of people have we become when compassion for the most vulnerable among us is sacrificed for our own personal comfort? Hope for Peace & Justice advocates healthcare as a civil right for the 46 million Americans who are living without health insurance.
