Healthcare for all NYers is right, smart & overdue: #NYHealthAct #SinglePayer
November 14, 2024 at 5:58 PM
Tax the ultra rich in New York state to make up the deficit, and pass the New York Health Act, which would guarantee universal healthcare for everyone.

The NY state legislature is ready to pass this.

Are you ready to endorse?

If at least 1 state has operationalized single-payer by 2028, Medicare for All will become a key issue in the Dem presidential primary.

That's why one of the best things New York can do for the nation is pass the #NYHealthAct. Good thing we just added 8 Leftists to the Assembly—let's get this done.
No family should have to worry if their loved ones will get treatment in the event of a seizure or health crisis. We need comprehensive healthcare that protects New Yorkers both in an emergency and in our daily lives.

YES AND:

✅ YES, #TaxTheRich in 2027, in part to raise revenue to restore Essential Plan coverage to 450,000 NYers

➕ AND pass #NYHealthAct so that everyone can have coverage that's both better & cheaper

➕ AND pass #NYPublicBanking so that NY need not depend on the wealthy to fund the many's needs.
Federal cuts to SNAP and Medicaid will only get worse next year.

In the next state budget—6 months away—New York must raise new revenue to prevent catastrophic coverage loss.

Dick Gottfried first introduced the #NYHealthAct in 1991.

Since 2002, NY WFP and now also DSA have steadily grown the Left's numbers in both the NYS Assembly + Senate.

We're now just 7 or so Assembly seats away from having the power to actually move this bill.

WE MUST WIN OUR PRIMARIES THIS JUNE!

Guys there's literally a statewide #SinglePayer bill in play right now. Call your state senator. #NYHealthAct

When it comes to advancing most Leftist bills + budget lines in NY, the hard truth is that many labor orgs—and to be candid, most of them—are more opponents than allies.

The #NYHealthAct is one such example. And that's why DC 37 Local 3005's support of NYHA is a huge deal and deserves our praise.
Today @politico.com Playbook reports that DC 37 Local 3005, in a historic vote, has endorsed the NY Health Act in defiance of DC 37 leadership’s obstruction of the bill.

Friends, today is the 4th day of Early Voting. Counting today, we have 8 days left to shift the balance of statewide power in New York.

How do we obtain the governing power to #TaxTheRich, pass the #NYHealthAct, universal child care, and all the other good things?

Win our Assembly primaries.
NEW: Starting July 1, hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers enrolled in the state’s Essential Plan will lose their health insurance due to federal cuts.

We’ve compiled information for Essential Plan users about what these changes mean and alternative options for coverage.

It would be nice if Governor Hochul passed the #NYHealthAct to protect those New Yorkers who purchase their insurance through the Marketplace, as they are likely going to lose it once the ACA is repealed by the incoming Republican administration.
Hochul said the Empire State Freedom Initiative “will focus on protecting key rights potentially threatened by a Trump admin …
James pointed out her office took nearly 100 legal actions against the previous Trump admin & is prepared to do it again.” spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/buffalo/...
Hochul, James say they're prepped to protect New Yorkers' rights after Trump win
New Yorkers are reacting to Tuesday evening's presidential results and Democratic leaders are already opposing the incoming administration.
