PETITION FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTH INSURANCE IN WISCONSIN
I call on the people of Wisconsin and the State legislature to create a single
payer system of universal health insurance that provides all Wisconsin residents
with comprehensive coverage (including prescription drugs, long term care and
freedom to choose doctors and other health care professionals). It would be
funded through an insurance trust fund that uses both public and private monies
that are currently spent for health care in Wisconsin. The financing for the
program would be more cost efficient than the present system.

Health Care for All: A Moral Imperative
All faith traditions challenge believers to act with justice, to engage in
healing and to treat all persons with compassion. In the United States today
we witness a health care system that distributes services unjustly, rations
care inequitably, and offers compassion only to those who can afford it. We
must acknowledge that lack of health care for millions of people in the richest
nation in the world is a moral outrage and that our faith calls us to embrace
health care for all as a moral imperative. Therefore, I urge my elected officials
to support legislation that:
o is affordable
o is cost efficient
o is comprehensive benefits
o promotes prevention & early intervention
o includes parity for mental health & long term care services
o eliminates disparity in access o addresses special needs & underserved
populations
o promotes quality o addresses the need for adequate #s of qualified health
care providers
o provides adequate & timely payments
o fosters a strong network of health care facilities
o ensures the continuity of care & coverage
o maximizes consumer choice
o is easy for all to use
