Hundreds Rally at Capitol for Single Payer Health Care

On Tuesday, March 17th, health care providers and advocates came to Albany for the New York Health Lobby Day. NY Health is a single-payer universal health care bill that covers all New Yorkers while eliminating co-pays, premiums and deductibles. The groups also support legislation to increase funding for primary care physicians as well as the Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act that would change how Medicaid home care services are delivered and paid for. We start off with medical student Cameron Clarke, Dr. Betty Kolod, head of Physicians for a National Health Program Metro Chapter; Doctors Manish and Alex Le; and Senator Gustavo Rivera, the lead sponsor.
