Here is some more specific information related to the current health care debate and the United Methodist Church. The United Methodist Board of Church & Society in alignment with the denominational position on health care is recommending the following four components (The John 10:10 Challenge) to be included in any new health care reform:INCLUSIVE - Health care is a right and a shared responsibility that is grounded in our common humanity.
AVAILABLE - Health care must contribute to the common good by being available to everyone, especially those who cannot afford it.
ACCESSIBLE - All persons should have access to health services that provide necessary care and contribute to wellness.
ACCOUNTABLE - Our health care system must be accountable, offering a quality, equitable and sustainable means of keeping us healthy as individuals and as a community.
