NYS Legislative Priorities

Posted on NYS Legislative Priorities by Morgan Moore. · February 09, 2024 1:44 PM

PNHP-NY Metro's 2023 Legislative Package

The legislation below represents the primary focuses of PNHP-NY Metro's lobbying efforts during the 2023 legislative session in New York.

Summary of Legislation: Take action by clicking on the bill names.

✅New York Health Act (S7590 / A07897) will establish a single-payer universal healthcare system in New York state that will guarantee comprehensive care for all residents and workers, regardless of employment, immigration status or ability to pay!

✅Reproductive Freedom & Equity Act (A00361A / S00348B) will establish a fund to cover the cost of abortion —as well as traveling expenses and childcare costs—for low-income New Yorkers and people coming from out of state. Has already passed the state senate!

✅Coverage 4 All (A3020 / S2237) will create a state-funded Essential Plan for ALL New Yorkers up to 200% of the federal poverty level, regardless of immigration status, by including undocumented immigrants in the state’s application for the 1332 waiver. Submit comments in support of Coverage 4 All.

✅Indigent Care Pool (2023 bill numbers pending) will redistribute public funding to protect true safety-net hospitals providing health care for low-income, people with disabilities, and communities of color.

✅End Medical Debt package: Ounce of Prevention Act (A6027 / S1366) requires all hospitals to use a uniform application form and policy and relates to distribution of funds from the general hospital indigent care pool, and Fair Medical Debt Reporting (A6275 / S4907) prohibits medical debt from being collected by a consumer reporting agency or included in a consumer report.

✅Fair Pay for Home Care would leave room in the budget for home health workers to make 150% of the minimum wage. New York has a home health care shortage and ensuring liveable wages for these highly skilled professionals is the first step to address this.

✅Protect Telemedicine Abortion Across State Lines (S1066A / A1079A) will shield clinicians and pharmacists throughout the state from: prosecution, loss of license or malpractice, and from subpoenas of their medical records for prescribing and sending of abortion pills to people who need them.


2018 PNHP NY Metro Membership Drive

Posted by YuLing Koh Hsu · November 20, 2018 5:20 PM

Join or renew your membership to PNHP before December 2nd, and you will be entered in a sweepstakes to win one of 10 available copies of the gripping book, The Power to Heal: Civil Rights, Medicare, and the Struggle to Transform America’s Health Care System, by medical expert and skilled storyteller Dr. David Barton Smith.

As Dr. Jack Geiger, Logan Professor Emeritus of Community Medicine at CUNY Medical School, explains, “The Power to Heal brings to life the neglected history of one of the greatest victories of the civil rights struggles—the successful confrontation with the institutional racism and racial segregation long entrenched in America’s hospitals, north as well as south, that had relegated African American patients to basement wards and inferior treatment.”

 

Why join PNHP? Hear from members about why membership is important to them:



PNHP is an organization funded by its members. We accept no corporate contributions of any kind. Our small staff and all activities are supported by members’ dues, individual contributions, and above all, the hands-on activities of our members.

All are welcome to join.You don't need to be a physician — nurses, public health professionals, social workers and concerned individuals who support single-payer health care are active and valued members of our organization. 

We look forward to welcoming you to our organization and working together to win an improved Medicare for All system.

Join or renew your membership to PNHP before October 1st, and you will be entered in a sweepstakes to win two free tickets to Michael Moore's new Broadway Show The Terms of My Surrender.

Michael Moore's film SiCKO made a huge impact on the movement for guaranteed health care. He's always been a friend to our cause, and we are thrilled that he has offered PNHP membership this opportunity. If you don't win the raffle, you'll still receive a discount code once the winner is drawn. 

Why join PNHP? Hear from PNHP members about why membership is so important to them:

Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) advocates for a universal, comprehensive single-payer national health program. PNHP has 22,000 members and over 50 chapters across the United States.

Since 1987, we've advocated for reform in the U.S. health care system. We educate physicians and other health professionals about the benefits of a single-payer system--including fewer administrative costs and affording health insurance for the 30 million Americans who have none.

Our members and physician activists work toward a single-payer national health program in their communities. PNHP performs ground breaking research on the health crisis and the need for fundamental reform, coordinates speakers and forums, participates in town hall meetings and debates, contributes scholarly articles to peer-reviewed medical journals, and appears regularly on national television and news programs advocating for a single-payer system.

PNHP is the only national physician organization in the United States dedicated exclusively to implementing a single-payer national health program.
