The single-payer universal national health care bill sponsored by Michigan Democratic congressman John Conyers has picked up more labor support. The Monroe/Lenawee County Michigan AFL-CIO Central Labor Council has endorsed the bill. A UAW local representing workers who build the Corvette in Kentucky is also endorsing the bill. The Conyers bill would essentially expand Medicare to cover everyone in the U.S. for all medically necessary procedures. It has nearly 80 co-sponsors in the U.S. House.
