University City's Council passed a resolution at its meeting Monday endorsing House Resolution 676, "The Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act."
The city is the first in Missouri to endorse the bill. Similar resolutions are under consideration by city councils in Richmond Heights, Webster Groves, Kirkwood, Hazelwood, Creve Coeur, and St. Louis City.
H.R. 676 was introduced by Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) with sixty-eight cosponsors in the House. Supporters say the act would provide a national universal, comprehensive, single-payer system of health care.
There will be a ceremony on Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. on the front steps of University City Hall, 6801 Delmar, in which supporters will call on other cities to pass similar resolutions in support of universal health care for all Americans.
