Hi Nada, Last week, the House of Representatives passed a reconciliation bill that threatens to devastate healthcare in New York. While the bill is likely to change before reaching the White House, we’re preparing for significant cuts and coverage losses. At the Campaign for New York Health, we’ve long known that our current insurance system is broken and unsustainable.We also know the best way New York can protect our healthcare is by passing the New York Health Act. We invite you to join us for a virtual conversation with Senator Gustavo Rivera and Michael Kinnucan from the Fiscal Policy Institute. The program, “The Healthcare Crisis Washington Created—And How NY Can Fix It,” will explore the proposed federal cuts, their impact on New Yorkers, and how our state can take action to protect healthcare for all. Register here.
Have friends that want to know more about the New York Health Act? Invite them to one of our New York Health Act 101s. Monday, June 9th at 7:00pm: Register here. Tuesday, June 17th at 7:00pm: Register here.
