Nuns Celebrate Affordable Care Act Victory
At The Washington Post, Sister Simone Campbell, the executive director of NETWORK, a Catholic social justice lobby, writes that she is “thrilled” with the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold most of the Affordable Care Act. “Since the day we were founded by Catholic sisters 40 years ago,” Campbell writes, “we have lobbied for access to affordable, quality healthcare. Catholic teachings about the common good and dignity of each person instruct us that this is a basic human right.”
