At a time when the federal government is gutting healthcare for millions of New Yorkers, insurance companies are driving up state, county, municipal and school district budgets, and every day New Yorkers are spending more for their healthcare and getting less — it’s more important than ever to elect New York Health Act Healthcare Champions who will fight for all of us.

Supporting the New York Health Act means supporting:

  • Guaranteeing every New Yorker Healthcare

  • Saving over 92% of New Yorkers money by eliminating premiums, copays and deductibles

  • Expanding health coverage to include medical, vision, dental, hearing, mental health, and prescriptions.

  • Cutting state healthcare spending

  • Drastically cutting spending at the county, municipality and school district levels which could lower property taxes, fully fund schools, and reinvest in communities

  • Eliminate restrictive insurance networks so you can see the doctors you want, not the ones insurance companies choose for you
