· Why have 33 of 50 State Federations of Labor endorsed the HR 676, the United States National Health Insurance Act?

NALC, IAM, Plumbers & Pipefitters (UA), Musicians (AFM), UE, CNA/NNOC, SMWIA, IFPTE, OPEIU, & MM&P) endorsed HR 676?
· HR 676 guarantees healthcare for everyone, is comprehensive, saves money, and makes our health care publicly accountable.
