Dozens of student descended on the halls of the New York State capitol in Albany on February 2nd, 2016, to set the record straight about healthcare reform: students support a Single Payer Healthcare Program! The New York Health Act (NYHA A5062/S3525), New York’s state bill that proposes a statewide improved Medicare-for-All healthcare, passed the state assembly last summer but has not yet been brought to a vote in the senate. The goal of the Student Lobby Day was to continue the bills forward motion.
