Catholic Charities USA is urging Senators to quickly pass crucial legislation that would provide temporary health care coverage for hurricane survivors through the Medicaid program. The bipartisan Emergency Health Care Relief Act of 2005, (S. 1716), was introduced last month by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT). Despite bi-partisan support, full Senate action on the bill has been delayed several times.
