Health care and the environment are central concerns of the Church and Community Committee. See below for information shared by the Pittsburgh Presbytery on opportunities to get involved and learn more about these issues.
Single Payer Health Care for All
Single payer health care is an issue that has been in the forefront of Pittsburgh Presbytery. In fact the General Assembly 2008 passed a resolution on single payer health care that was initiated by Pittsburgh Presbytery.
Join others at the Single Payer Health Care for All-Citizen Call to Action! meeting to be held on March 28 from 9:00 AM-4:00PM in 2210 Doherty Hall at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. The aim of this event is to make the case for passage of publicly funded, privately delivered health care (via HR 676 and Pennsylvania bills SB 300 and HB 1660), including fair and comprehensive benefits for all. RSVP to Mary Pat Donegan at drdoneagain@yahoo.com.
