With more and more families losing their health insurance and having difficulty accessing health care at all, Bush's HHS rule that limits access to health services is unconscionable. We must all speak up for patients' rights.

If faith-based providers want to convince us that they’re interested in the dignity of their patients, they need to stop the war on medicine.

President Obama and congressional Democrats have already moved smartly to restore key women’s reproductive rights that came under attack during the Bush Administration.
. . . . .
Let's see some proof, the Obama administration said, in essence, today, to those who claimed that health care providers desperately needed further protection to prevent discrimination based on their religious objection to providing abortion care.

The Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law of the House Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing today on the Bush administration's midnight regulations, including the Department of Health and Human Services's "provider conscience" regulation.
. . . . .
The new HHS "conscience" rule is a prescription for health care chaos.
. . . . .
The Legislative Advocate for California NOW claims that a contact at the Department of Health and Human Services confirms that the HHS provider conscience regulation will be frozen along with Bush's other midnight regulations.
