The May 4 Leg Act News explains the proposed New York Health Act (NYHA), S3425/A1466. This bill is a universal, comprehensive, single-payer plan to provide quality care to all New Yorkers, regardless of income, wealth, or employment status.
Get your questions answered at www.nyhcampaign.org or email info@nyhcampaign.org.
Talk to your family, friends, and any groups you belong to about this plan. Provide the web link and email so they can check for themselves and get questions answered. Call and speak to your legislators. Explain the difficulties you have with your own health insurance and tell them you support the New York Health Act. Follow up your phone call with a letter and demand that the legislators respond. Finally, reach out to candidates running for the NY Senate and Assembly, ask what they know about the NYHA, and provide them with reasons to support the bill.
