The Campaign for New York Health is a new coalition working to implement universal, single-payer health care in New York State. We are dedicated to passing and implementing the New York Health bill for universal, single-payer health care in New York State to make health care a guaranteed right for all New Yorkers, not something available only to those who can afford it.
Speak out for a health care system that puts patients over profits!
- Are you uninsured or underinsured?
- Have you ever delayed care because you couldn’t afford the copay or deductible?
- Have you ever stayed in a job just to keep your health insurance?
- Have you ever been denied necessary care by your insurance company?
- Have you ever had to file for bankruptcy because of medical debt?
- Are you a medical professional who is frustrated with the barriers that private health insurance companies create?
- Do you have to make difficult choices between paying your health care premium and other bills?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above or have another story to share about how the health care system affects you, please attend and testify at this hearing! We need people to testify in support of Single Payer - if you are willing to speak in support of Single Payer, please contact Ursula, (315) 414-7720 • urs...@nyhcampaign.org
