The NCCC has a decades-long history of working for universal health care. In policy statements dating back to the 1980s, the Council has expressed concern about the large number of North Carolinians without adequate health care and the high and increasing cost of health care. Many in the faith community believe reform that provides health care for all is a basic social justice issue. Substantial progress was made in 2010, but continued advocacy and vigilance are needed to continue the forward trend and protect against backsliding.
