Stop The New York Health Act
The New York Health Act is a proposal in the NYS Legislature to create a universal single payer health plan in New York State. Under this plan, all New Yorkers would be under the same health plan, including those with health insurance negotiated in a collective bargaining agreement or provided by their employer. Under this proposal, you would lose your current health plan and could end up paying more.
Please Join us February 8th at 7pm
For a Zoom meeting outlining why this proposal is detrimental to your benefits and what we can do to stop it.
