Baptist, Buddhist, Jewish and others for health reform

Michael Mansur of the Kansas City Star writes:

There was no screaming. No shouting. Security hauled no one off. ... for more than two hours Sunday afternoon, about 250 Kansas Citians clapped and supported a panel of religious leaders — including Buddhist, Jewish and Baptist — who called for a moral response to the national health care crisis. The forum was at Community Christian Church.

The core message: With 46 million in the U.S. uninsured (35.9 million uninsured Americans) and millions more underinsured, "it is time to do something."

The Rev. Eric Williams, pastor of Calvary Baptist Temple in Kansas City "and other panel members" said it is time to end the fusillades of misinformation, fear and division: “Call it what you want, but let’s get something done.”
