Working Families Need NY Health

NY Health is a single payer universal health care proposal for NY. Instead of private health insurance, all New Yorkers would be covered – with no premiums, co-pays or deductibles. Despite majority support in both houses of the legislature, enactment of the program has been blocked by the insurance and drug companies. Julie Schwartzberg and Ayanthi Gunawadana of Working People for Health discuss the proposal with Mark Dunlea of the Hudson Mohawk Magazine. There will be a lobby day in Albany on March 17 and a rally at NYC CIty Hall on March 8.
