The Catholic Health Association does not endorse candidates. But Sister Keehan is concerned about Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s vow to eliminate President Obama’s health care program if elected. She says the Affordable Care Act isn’t perfect, but it’s a good start toward providing every American with health coverage. And, between now and November, she says educating the public on the program’s strengths is key.

“When we think there is misinformation that has the potential to negatively impact something that has great potential to be a great good for the country’s health care, we will try to correct that. And I’m sure many others will try to correct it as well. We are not going to try to get into the middle of campaign ads because that is a no win situation.”
