Sufficient Sustainable Livelihood for All calls for

“addressing the barriers individuals face in preparing for and sustaining a livelihood (such as lack of … health care),”

and

“public policies that ensure adequate social security, unemployment insurance, and health care coverage.” 

Caring for Health: Our Shared Endeavor supports:

“equitable access for all people to basic health care services and to the benefits of public health efforts.” 

The statement goes on to say,

“Because health is central to personal well-being and functioning in society, a just society is one that supports the health of all its members. Thus, our common effort to provide access to health care for all is a matter of social justice for all people.”
