What's YOUR Pulse?

What do YOU think about health care?

Has anyone asked you what you need and value when it comes to health care? Or are you just listening to others, particularly the candidates, as they debate what they think you need?

The
PULSE SURVEY is your chance to express your opinion! It asks about your experiences with U.S. health care, your ability to get the health care you need, and what kind of reforms would make the most sense to you. In addition, it asks how your faith values inform your opinions on this issue.

CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE SURVEY NOW!
Clearly, health care is a critical issue in this election cycle, and the voice of the faith community will be integral in keeping the issue in the forefront of legislative priorities. Proclaiming our vision will be key to shaping a health care future that works for all of us. One step in promoting that vision is participating in a survey called the PULSE, which will document our opinions on this issue.

This survey was developed in a partnership between Faithful Reform in Health Care and CodeBlueNow.  Originally developed by CodeBlueNow, the survey was adapted by Faithful Reform in Health Care to identify what people of faith are thinking about our health care future. Once completed, the survey results will be used guide faith-inspired advocates as they chart a path in their support for reform and work to hold our elected leaders accountable on this issue.

Deadline: Monday, May 26!

And then... circulate the PULSE widely within your communities of faith.
Thousands of responses are needed to demonstrate our concern for
our health care future!

Faithful Reform in Health Care is working with a national network of people of faith to elevate moral and prophetic voices in support of a health care future that works well for all of us.

CodeBlueNow! is working to create strong public will for change by engaging the public in designing, shaping and promoting a template for a new health care system.

This announcement was brought to you by the Minnesota Council of Churches.
