Forum on Universal Health Care in New York State:
Momentum for the campaign for universal, single-payer health care in New York State has been growing in the last two years. In the last three months alone, the New York Health bill has gained 26 more supporters in both chambers of the legislature, bringing the number of Assembly cosponsors to 74. Only two more cosponsors are needed to have majority support for the bill in the Assembly. This legislation would bring a universal, publicly-financed, privately-delivered health care system to the Empire State.
On May 16th, I will join Assembly Member Richard Gottfried at a forum titled "Is Universal Health Care in New York State Within Reach?" The forum is sponsored by the Peace and Justice Task Force of All Soul's Church, Physicians for a National Health
Program-NY Metro, and Healthcare-NOW New York City.
Join our discussion about how this program would work and how the campaign is mobilizing for a vote before the end of May! The forum will take place on Thursday May 16th from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at All Souls Church, Reidy Friendship Hall, 1157 Lexington Avenue at East 79th Street.
