HR 676 UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE

The North Shore Labor Council is the one hundredthCentral Labor Council to endorse HR 676, single payer healthcarelegislation introduced by Congressman John Conyers (D-MI).Jeff Crosby, Council President, said: “We in Massachusetts have ampleexperience with the fraud of health-care ‘reform’ that claims to provideuniversal coverage without containing costs. The Massachusetts bill iscollapsing as we speak. And the only way to contain costs is to go afterthe drug companies and the insurance companies with a chain-saw. HR 676does that best.”
