· Why have 33 of 50 State
Federations of Labor endorsed the HR 676, the United States National
Health Insurance Act?<br><br>
· Why have 12 International
Unions (UAW, NEA, ILWU,<br>
NALC, IAM, Plumbers & Pipefitters (UA), Musicians (AFM), UE,
CNA/NNOC, SMWIA, IFPTE, OPEIU, & MM&P) endorsed HR 676?<br><br>
· HR 676 guarantees healthcare
for everyone, is comprehensive, saves money, and makes our health care
publicly accountable. <br><br>

</a>The Hegelian/Marxist goal is emancipation. Marx said it best in
1843:<br><br>
"Human emancipation wll only be complete when the real, individual
man (sic) is absorbed into himself the abstract citizen; when as an
individual man, in his every day life, in his work and in his
relationships, he has become a <i>species-being</i> (<b>politically
accountabe to the whole</b>); and when he recognizes and realizes his own
power as <i>social</i> powers, so that he no longer separates this
<i>socia</i>l power from himself as <i>political </i>power."<br>
