What’s YOUR Pulse?Stethoscope

What do YOU think about health care?

Has anyone asked you what you need and value when it comes to health care?  Or are you just listening to others, particularly the candidates, as they debate what they think you need? 

The PULSE is a survey that asks about your experiences with U.S. health care, your ability to get the health care you need, and what kind of reforms would make the most sense to you.  In addition, it asks how your faith values inform your opinions on this issue.  Take the survey now and then ask your friends to take the survey, too.  Thousands of responses are needed to demonstrate our concern for a health care future that works for all of us. 

Clearly, health care is a critical issue in this election cycle, and the voice of the faith community will be critical in keeping the issue in the forefront of legislative priorities. Proclaiming our vision will be key to shaping compassionate reform. This survey will be a first step in that direction.  Your opinions DO matter!

CodeBlueNow logoCodeBlueNow! developed the original survey and worked in partnership with Faithful Reform in Health Care to adapt it for use in faith communities.  Once completed, the survey results will guide faith-inspired advocates as they chart a path in their support for reform and work to hold our elected leaders accountable on this issue. 

 
And then... circulate the PULSE widely within your communities of faith. 
Thousands of responses are needed to demonstrate our concern
for our health care future!
 
DEADLINE:  FRIDAY, MAY 23 
   

 

Get ready for our nation's health care dialogue!

Vision and Voice:  Faithful Citizens and Health Care, a new adult education resource, is now available for faith communities wanting to engage in our nation's dialogue about health care reform.  It is available for FREE on the web on the Vision and Voice website.

This timely resource is an innovative and interactive series that offers a flexible design for four onetotwo hour meetings.  The sessions are easily led by laypersons with good facilitation skills, regardless of their knowledge of the health care issue. Numerous creative activities help participants understand the issue, connect with moral teachings of their own tradition, and identify action steps for individuals and communities of faith.

Faithful Reform in Health Care served as one of the partners in the development of this new resource.  Follow the link above for more complete information, or contact Faithful Reform in Health Care to answer you questions.


Notable quotes


My friends, the health insurance situation in this country is a disaster. If we continue to tolerate it, we will lose our humanity, and no matter our other accomplishments, we will have failed as a people and a nation. So let us work to change it, piece by piece and child by child—until no cry for help goes unheard. Only in this way can we honor the image of God in every human being. 

Rabbi Eric Yoffie, President

Union for Reform Judaism

___________________


Social transformations − the end of slavery, the women's and civil rights movements, the end of colonial rule, the birth of environmentalism − all began with public awareness and engagement. Our political leaders followed rather than led.  It was scientists, engineers, church-goers and young people who truly led the way.
