hree rabbis are part of an
alliance encompassing 300
southeast Michigan religious,
business and education sectors that
have joined a nationwide call to make
reliable, affordable health care coverage
a high priority.
Rabbi David
Nelson of
Congregation Beth
Shalom in Oak
Park, Rabbi
Mordehai
Waldman of
Congregation Beth
Tephilath Moses in
Mount Clemens
and Rabbi Joseph
Rabbi Nelson
Klein of Temple
Eman.u-E1 in Oak
Park responded to U.S. Census Bureau
figures indicating that 1.08 million
Michiganians, more than one in every
10, lack health insurance.
In all, 45 million Americans lack the
insurance, including more than 8 mil-
lion children. Eight out of 10 unin-
sured Americans either work or are in
working families. Nearly one in six
Americans has lacked health care cov-
erage for a full year; millions more go
without coverage for months.
"Americans without health coverage
represent every religion, race, and region
of the country," said Rabbi Nelson, an
officer of the Health & Hope Coalition
representing 100 faith leaders.
"Wherever we pray, chances are very
good that someone near us is unable to
get the health care they need because
they do not have insurance coverage."
'As more and more Michigan citizens
lose health care coverage and small busi-
nesses in our state are finding they can
no longer provide coverage for their
employees, our community is coming
together to say this is a problem we
must solve together," said Nancy
Schlichting, who heads the Detroit-
based Henry Ford Health System.
'Although Americans observe faith
traditions that encompass a wide spec-
trum of beliefs, all hold that life is a
holy gift to be cherished," Rabbi
Nelson said. "We are called to care for
one another, provide healing and pre-
vent suffering. That is why we join
together to support Cover the
Uninsured Week."
The Institute of Medicine estimates
that 18,000 adults in America die each
year because they are uninsured.
Research shows that uninsured women
with breast cancer have a higher risk
of dying than women with health
insurance. Uninsured patients with
colorectal cancer are about 50 percent
more likely to die than patients with
health insurance, even when the can-
cer is diagnosed at similar stages.
Cover the Uninsured Week in
southeast Michigan is funded primari-
ly by the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation, a philanthropy dedicated
exclusively to improving the health
and health care of all Americans.
