Single-payer NY

We the undersigned urge you to publicly endorse and sign into law Richard Gottfried's single payer healthcare bill – A07860/S5425. This bill will create a publicly funded, privately provided healthcare system that guarantees universal health coverage to every resident of New York State regardless of their employment status. The proposed system requires no co-payments, no deductibles and does not mandate that individuals purchase private health insurance. Funded primarily through a flat payroll/income tax, this bill will greatly reduce overall healthcare costs in New York State by reducing administrative waste, curtailing the fee-for-service payment system and encouraging timely, preventative care.
