Note excerpt from their own site dated May 21, 2010. (emphais mine)
As the Chairmen of the three committees most directly involved in the efforts of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on health care reform, we are writing to set the record straight on some important issues raised during and after final consideration of the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” this spring.
From our first statement to Congress a year ago (http://usccb.org/sdwp/national/2009-05-usccb-health-care-statement.pdf) to Cardinal George’s March 23rd, 2010 statement about the enactment of a “profoundly flawed” final bill, the position of our Conference has been unified and consistent. Reflecting decades of advocacy on behalf of universal access to health care, the bishops were clear in calling for health care reform as a moral imperative and urgent national priority. We called for reform that would make health coverage affordable for the poor and needy, moving our society substantially toward the goal of universal coverage. We were equally clear in stating that this must be done in accord with the dignity of each and every human person, showing full respect for the life, health and conscience of all.
Read the links if you want to set the record straight. ALL — yes, ALL the Catholic Bishops came out AGAINST the HHS mandate.
The facts are in those links. All FR links, BTW!
There are plenty of ways to reform the health care system in this country that aren't as inimical to freedom (not to mention economically stupid) as Commiecare.
And, no, "universal access to healthcare" is not the same thing as "single payer government health care". Read up on the concept of "subsidiarity" in Catholic social doctrine, please.
