    Yes, let thousands of infants die, let tens of thousands of   
    children and adults die. Better to not have health care than to   
    have national health care.

    Dear Representative:   
      
    On behalf of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops   
    (USCCB), we strongly urge Members of Congress to come together   
    and recommit themselves to enacting genuine health care reform   
    that will protect the life, dignity, consciences, and health of   
    all. The health care debate, with all its political and   
    ideological conflict, seems to have lost its central moral focus   
    and policy priority, which is to ensure that affordable,   
    quality, life-giving care is available to all. Now is not the   
    time to abandon this task, but rather to set aside partisan   
    divisions and special interest pressures to find ways to enact   
    genuine reform. Although political contexts have changed, the   
    moral and policy failure that leaves tens of millions of our   
    sisters and brothers without access to health care still   
    remains.
