Failth-based Health Reform Initiatives

Picked this one up from the Kaiser Daily Health Policy Report, and thought I'd pass along:

Faith-based groups Faithful America and Cover All Families have launched a campaign on Christian radio stations advocating for health care reform, the Wall Street Journal's "Washington Wire" reports. The ads, titled "Abundant Life," feature a voice saying, "All Americans should be able to get the care they need for their families, when they need it. God desires abundant life for all people. It's time we step up, ask our politicians to move the debate forward, so we can get the reform we desperately need." The campaign also urges listeners to contact their congressional representatives about health care reform. The ads are running in seven states -- Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri and Nebraska -- which have "representatives and senators who may well determine the fate of health reform," according to CAF (Mundy, "Washington Wire," Wall Street Journal, 5/21).

Those of you reform-minded liberals may have some unlikely allies in your fight. Keep this in mind.
