| Abstrakt: | Health services in the United States, driven by moral relativism, technology, financial algorithms, present draconian threats to the ability of these services to respond to the health care needs of the American people. Critical moral issues must be addressed, resolved, and serve as the foundation for a renewed health care system that fulfills the call for the common good and provides services in response to the question "who do we really care about." Millions of our brothers and sisters continue to join the ranks of the uninsured and unemployed. What is urgently needed is a fair, equitable, accessible, affordable, and, most importantly, an ethical system of health care where the dignity and freedom of the human person, across the continuum of life from conception to natural death, is once again recognized as the summit of the work before us.
