Healthcare for Every New Yorker


The New York Health Act [A.5248, S.3577] 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.

Read our new report ‘From Coverage to Care: A People’s Report on Healthcare in New York State.' Based on hundreds of surveys conducted between 2017 and 2019, the key finding of the report is that a startling 50% of New Yorkers covered by private health insurance plans delayed or skipped basic care due to cost. Citing financial barriers, New Yorkers are foregoing basic care, including regular checkups, diagnostic testing, vision care, dental care, and prescription drugs.

Why Take Action for the New York Health Act

 

CNYH_Favicon_32x32px_(1).jpg 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.

CNYH_Favicon_32x32px_(1).jpg Comprehensive Plan

New York Health covers ALL medically necessary care, including medical, prescription, vision, dental, hearing, long-term care and support services, mental health and substance abuse treatment; and reproductive care. One comprehensive plan, freedom of provider choice, no more networks.

CNYH_Favicon_32x32px_(1).jpg 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 will actually save billions off current healthcare costs, and 90% of New Yorkers are expected to pay less than they currently do.

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

CNYH_Favicon_32x32px_(1).jpgThe 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!
