United Methodists Call for Health Care Reform

“We believe Health Care is a basic human right.”
United Methodist Social Principle ¶162.V

Thank You!

Thank you John 10:10 Teams for your intensive effort in ensuring Congress heard from United Methodists that health care is a basic right.

This law is a huge step in ensuring that all people in the U.S. have access to Health Care.

Stay tuned for educational efforts to assist people in your local communities in understanding their rights under the new law.

Take a minute to contact your Member of Congress and share your story. You can also send a John 10:10 Postcard.

Download 10:10 Challenge Overview.

We have a rare opportunity to provide health care for all people in the United States through 10 easy actions. Jesus provided a promise of God’s grace for us all when he proclaimed we shall “have Life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10, NRSV)

In accepting this challenge, you will add your voice to the call for a justice-filled system of health-care that is:

• INCLUSIVE
  Health care is a right and a shared responsibility that is grounded in our common humanity.
  
• AVAILABLE
  Health care must contribute to the common good by being available to everyone, especially those who cannot afford it.
  
• ACCESSIBLE
  All persons should have access to health services that provide necessary care and contribute to wellness.
  
• ACCOUNTABLE
  Our health care system must be accountable, offering a quality, equitable and sustainable means of keeping us healthy as individuals and as a community.

Join the Challenge

We invite people of all faith to participate in the 10:10 Challenge. Start a team challenge or invite others to join.

We hope the challenge will engage and empower you to mobilize your Sunday School, Youth Groups, UMW Circles, or other small groups of interested people to commit to being a part of health-care reform.
