Health care facilities are not easily accessible for many rural New Yorkers. At the same time, hospitals in these areas are increasingly in danger of shutting down. People in rural New York have the same right to health care as those in urban areas. Every New Yorker deserves access to good-quality, affordable healthcare, regardless of where they live or their income level.
Prioritizing Healthcare affords people security in their lives and invests in our communities
Passing the New York Health Act ensures that all residents can access the care they need without worrying about deductibles, co-pays, or rising premiums
Investing in care providers ensures that care is available no matter where you live and creates good paying jobs that support the community.
Investing in and providing for healthcare lowers costs by encouraging early interventions that lead to better health outcomes
Investing in public health programs reduces costs through education, identifying resources, and encouraging prevention of a variety of health threats. Better education leads to better health impacts and reduced cost.
