A Single Payer, Medicare for All health care system was unanimously endorsed at the 2009 AFL-CIO Convention in Pittsburgh, PA.  Click Here to read the resolution.

The Georgia AFL-CIO endorsed Single Payer Healthcare at our 2007 Convention. We believe it is the most cost efficient and effective way to deliver healthcare to everyone.

"H.R. 676, introduced in Congress by Representative John Conyers (Dem.-Mich, has been gathering sensational support from unions across the country. It has already been endorsed by 512 union organizations in 49 states. That includes 39 AFL-CIO-affiliated State Federations and 125 Central Labor Councils. The Service Employees  International Union  and other Change to Win internationals have also endorsed it."
