The New York Health Act (S7590 | A7897) is legislation introduced by Assembly Member Amy Paulin and Senator Gustavo Rivera in the New York State Legislature. If passed, it will implement a universal, single-payer health care plan that will cover all New Yorkers and eliminate co-pays, deductibles, and skyrocketing premiums. 

Our campaign has dramatically increased support for the bill, and the bill passed the Assembly in 2015, 2016, and 2017.

In 2022, we achieved majority support in Albany and we continue to have a majority of NYS Senators and Assembly Members signed on as current co-sponsors of the bill. Here's the full list of cosponsors in the Assembly and the Senate. Read the bill summary and full text.
