From the National Council of Churches USA:
Nearly 46 million Americans -- including more than 8 million children -- are living without health coverage. This May 1-7, thousands of activities will take place in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to tell Congress that health coverage for Americans must be their top priority. The Cover the Uninsured Week National Interfaith Advisory Board, chaired by the Rev. Dr. Eileen W. Lindner, NCC Deputy General Secretary, is urging congregations to take an active role in bringing the issue to the attention of the public. "A problem of this magnitude underscores the moral and ethical dimensions of this growing problem and the need to respond," the advisory board writes For more information on how you can help, see www.CoverTheUninsured.org.
