Pope Leo made a plea on Wednesday for countries to offer their ​citizens universal healthcare, calling it a "moral imperative" that ‌people have access to the health services they need, in an unusually strong appeal. For @Reuters reuters.com/business/healt…

All men and women, especially Christians, are called to fix their gaze on those who suffer, on the pain of the lonely, and on those who are emarginated for various reasons, for without them we cannot build a just society. Only together can we build communities of solidarity capable of caring for everyone, in which wellbeing and peace can flourish for the benefit of all. Caring for the humanity of others helps us to live our own lives to the full.
