The future of the Affordable Health Care Act

This year, we are seeing the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (also known as "Obamacare") across the country. This rollout is critically important for the future of our nation, particularly for those who are sick and lack access to affordable health care. Despite the bishops' confused understanding of the American ideal of religious liberty, Catholics should be working to ensure this law is successful and that improvements are introduced where needed so those who need the protections of adequate health care coverage will have it available to them.
