H-676 meeting in St. Louis today

Ralph and I are off to register at the meeting of supporters of H-676 in St. Louis this afternoon. H-676 is the Medicare for All Americans Act before congress.

The proposal, if passed into law, would radically change medical insurance in America. It is the best proposal on the congressional table right now for our members and is superior to other competing health care proposals before congress.

We intend to gather info for the group and do a bit of politicking as well.

Note, we radified this in our March, 2006 meeting and are number 175 on the list of labor organizations officially supporting the bill. Soar nationally has endorsed as well as the St. Louis labor council. Alliance for Retired Americans have also given nod to bill.

We shall report back after the meeting on some of the details. Will be on the agenda of next month's meeting.
