Radio Free Acton:
Perspectives on Health Care Reform
Listen in as Dr. Donald Condit & Dr. Kevin Schmiesing join Radio Free Acton to discuss the ins and outs of the healthcare system. They talk about the pitfalls of the current healthcare reform proposals in Washington and offer alternatives which would result in lower prices and better patient care.
The Critical Condition of U.S. Health Care
As the threat of a crisis in our current health care system looms larger and health care spending continues to increase, the sustainability of our current employer-based health care system comes into question. How can we reform health care and see to it that more people have access to it? Is socialized medicine the answer? What is a Christian response to the health care system? Visit Acton's Health Care Resources Page and find answers to these questions.
Caritas in Veritate:
Pope Benedict XVI's new social encyclical
In his new social encyclical, Caritas in Veritate, Pope Benedict XVI has strongly reaffirmed and deepened the connection between morality and the free economy. Benedict has repudiated practices that led to a global economic crisis in which the love of truth has been abandoned in favor of a crude materialism.
This resource page provides news and analysis on the first new social encyclical issued by the Vatican in almost 20 years. New content on the encyclical is also available on the Acton Institute PowerBlog.
