FROM THE CALIFORNIA COUNCIL OF CHURCHES One of the core beliefs shared by California Council of Churches and California Church IMPACT is that a society, to be moral and just, must provide all people with access to health care. We are currently developing a congregational study guide, funded by the California Endowment, that will examine faith principles that shape our understanding of health care not as a commodity but as a human right. Created by former Interim Director, Nancy Nielsen, the guide will examine the links between Biblical precepts and our creation of a social ethic on the development of a healthy society where no one goes without adequate medical care. The social contract since World War II provides that the majority of Californians receive health care through their employers. Today 50 percent are covered through their or their spouse's workplace. Twenty-eight percent receive some form of public coverage (Medicare, Medi-Cal, Healthy Families.) However, seventeen percent of Californians and their families have no health insurance at all, despite the fact that they are nearly all working. Without health insurance, families delay medical care, then obtain it through costly emergency room use billed at the highest rates. Medical debt is the cause of half of all personal bankruptcy, and unpaid bills fall to insurance rate payers and tax payers to absorb.
