“A Vincentian Focus on Health Care in the USA”

Sr. Carol Keehan, DC presented  “A Vincentian Focus on Health Care in the USA” at the Annual Assembly of the Ladies of Charity.

Among the major points…

• A review of Vincent’s concern for the poor and how made their plight visible to those in power even at the cost of being denounced, ridiculed and though often not successful  pressed on and did not strike back
• The need for reform of an unsustainable health care system which is inadequate, inefficient and unfair.
• A review how those on the margins of health care are benefiting from ACA
• What is expected to happen in the new few year as more benefits kick in and savings are realized.
