Healthcare for every New Yorker
The New York Health Act will provide comprehensive, universal health coverage for every New Yorker. You and your healthcare providers will work to keep you healthy—New York Health pays the bill. We need to fight back against the congressional attacks on affordable healthcare nationally and organize in New York for a healthcare system that guarantees coverage for all of us.
We have never been so close to winning universal, guaranteed healthcare! The bill passed the NYS Assembly four years in a row, and now there is a majority in the State Senate that is on record in support of the legislation. But they need to feel the pressure from the bottom up to do the right thing and go bold on healthcare. Now is the time to Pass the NY Health Act!

Why Take Action for the New York Health Act
Covers Everybody
Each of us gets the healthcare we need through a just, equitable healthcare system that guarantees healthcare for every New York resident as a fundamental human right, not just as a privilege.
Comprehensive Plan
New York Health covers ALL medically necessary care, including medical, prescription, vision, dental, hearing, mental health and substance abuse treatment; and reproductive care. One comprehensive plan, freedom of provider choice, no more networks.
Reduces Costs
New York Health pays for all covered services, giving it the power to eliminate waste and contain costs. No more co-pays, deductibles, or premiums! New York saves as much as $45 billion/year off current healthcare costs!
Our Healthcare
New York Health is accountable only to the public. Doctors and nurses, not insurance companies, work with you to decide your care. This ensures that private profit never comes before public health.
About Us
The Campaign for New York Health is a coalition of organizations and individuals representing millions of New Yorkers committed to guaranteeing healthcare for the residents of our state. Our goal is to win improved Medicare for All in New York State.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) made history by expanding health insurance to thousands of New Yorkers for the first time. However, it left insurance companies in charge of our healthcare system. Also, even with the ACA, over 1,000,000 New York residents are still uninsured.
With the federal government again doing healthcare reform, moving more responsibility for healthcare to the states, it’s imperative that New York establish a better, truly universal system, which finally gets costs under control. Our state can set the standard for the country by implementing a just and equitable healthcare system — New York Health!
