For all Joyful Being projects the core principals articulate a vision of an area of our community life organized around the desire of individuals to feel alive and connected and to increase the Joyful Being values. Until we learn to organize around something that is inclusive of but larger than current institutions and ideologies our attempts to create positive social change will embedd us deeper in current problems. If these core principals better capture your vision of a health care system then show your support by joining and then participating in this project. If the numbers in support of this vision of health care becomes large enough then you have participated in creating the necessary leverage to change large systems. Please help us add to, refine, or promote these core health care principals.
