| Comprehensive Healthcare Is a Human Right |
|
PSR supports comprehensive healthcare reform. We believe healthcare is a human right and want to thank the president and the Congress for taking an initial step by providing additional healthcare to those most often in need — children. By expanding the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), the administration has made preventative care more accessible for millions of children.
PSR believes all people should have access to quality medical care at a reasonable cost. In the U.S., this can be accomplished through a strengthened public financing option that should be part of national healthcare reform passed this year. |
