�On Saturday, May 4th the New Hampshire AFL-CIO unanimously passed a resolution supporting HR 676 and the adoption of a national single payer health care system that covers all Americans for all necessary medical care including prescription drugs and dental,� reported President Mark MacKenzie.

New Hampshire is the 42nd State AFL-CIO Federation to endorse HR 676, Expanded and Improved Medicare for All, sponsored by Congressman John Conyers (D-MI).

�HR 676 will save hundreds of billions of dollars by eliminating the private health insurance industry with its high overhead and profits,� said MacKenzie.

�As President of the New Hampshire AFL-CIO I am proud to have our members actively participate in the movement to win passage of HR 676 and to make health care a human right.�

On May 21, 2013, HR 676 gained another co-sponsor in Congress with the addition of Danny Davis (IL-7). HR 676 now has 42 co-sponsors.
