The NEW YORK HEALTH ACT is a bill in the state legislature (read it here) that would guarantee to every New York resident:

medical and hospital care, dental care, vision care, hearing care, mental health services, addiction treatment, long term care

and split the cost fairly and predictably based on income. It would also replace our swamp of profiteering insurance with a single payer, saving so much in corporate profits and administrative costs that the overall bill for medical care statewide would be $11 billion cheaper than it is now.

90% of New Yorkers would save money compared to what they are paying now, low and middle income workers would save the most, and everyone would have a doctor and be able to go in for necessary healthcare without worrying about the cost - no deductibles, no co-pays, no co-insurance, no surprise bills, no out of pocket; just one monthly income-based premium. 

This bill has been around since 1992, and it was cosponsored by a majority of the NY Senate and Assembly in 2021. Our legislators know it would help their constituents. So why hasn't it passed? Because we, the people, need to organize ourselves to overcome corporate lobbying. We did it with the $15 minimum wage, we can do it with healthcare!
