Also, the Catholic Church runs this on a non-profit basis, spending vast sums of its money to ensure access for those unable to pay. That’s the kind of model that many on the Left believe should exclusively provide health care — and FOCA would spell the end of the major provider already in that model.

The Catholic run hospital is the model of healthcare and hospital that the left envisions, yet they seek to force it's hand? Which will of course only worsen the healthcare situation, for those already on the edge of affording care. One would hope those on the left would see the need to let the Catholic hospitals exist as they have, a vital part of our healthcare system.

Not quite. You see they are privately run, and by a religious organization, no less. Passing FOCA is a win/win for the Rats and BO. They increase and strengthen abortion "rights" and they improve their case for socializing the medical industry when the Catholic Church shuts down their hospitals, thus reducing the medical care options for the poor.
