This article says that the bishops accept “Democratic-style universal health care,” socialism, and some in the Vatican are Marxists. Also, a Catholic politician talked to his/her bishop before voting, and the Church had involvement in the anti-abortion measure.

I come to my point. Does the author realize the method in which basic health care for all is given is something that can be debated upon, or this quote from the Catechism:

2425 The Church has rejected the totalitarian and atheistic ideologies associated in modem times with “communism” or “socialism.” She has likewise refused to accept, in the practice of “capitalism,” individualism and the absolute primacy of the law of the marketplace over human labor.207 Regulating the economy solely by centralized planning perverts the basis of social bonds; regulating it solely by the law of the marketplace fails social justice, for "there are many human needs which cannot be satisfied by the market.“208 Reasonable regulation of the marketplace and economic initiatives, in keeping with a just hierarchy of values and a view to the common good, is to be commended.?”

Am I wrong but bishops are not economists so the laity have the right to make the choice on how basic health care is given, since the bishops only want “universal access?”

Please debate and I thank you in advance.
 
The USCCB does have quite a say in this, 20% of all american hospitals are Catholic.

I agree though, we’re getting into dangerous waters. I applaud the Stupak amendment… but we must be very aware of what happens next, since Senate might change the wording a bit… We need to keep an eye out.
