Last week there was a major victory at the Presbyterian Church USA General Assembly where many hundreds of commissioners from across the country met in San Jose to discuss and set church policy on a broad range of faith and justice issues. They voted 377 to 250 with 12 abstentions to support publicly financed privately delivered single payer health care and appropriated $25,000 to their educational program to teach on this issue. Presbyterians in Pittsburgh and David Bos from Kentucky took the initiative that made this astounding success possible.
