We urge the North Carolina General Assembly to work together across bi-partisan lines to close the health insurance coverage gap for all of these children of God. Uninsured North Carolinians include members of our congregations, pastors, child care providers, farmers, construction workers, small business owners, neighbors, and friends. Healthy families are the bedrock of our communities of faith and of our local economies. We understand that a community cannot flourish while its people lack access to affordable, quality healthcare. That means we cannot stand silent when presented with the opportunity to provide healthcare coverage for hundreds of thousands of our brothers and sisters. And, we believe we are called to follow our God by doing good, not only in the halls of our congregations, but by seeking justice in the wider world. We believe that when we work to ease the burdens of our neighbors who are struggling the most, we are caring for God.

Right now, too many hard-working families are uninsured. We, as North Carolina business leaders, understand that a strong economy and a thriving workforce require healthy families.
