description
The Campaign for New York Health is a statewide coalition and social welfare nonprofit dedicated to passing and implementing the New York Health Act (NYHA) in the New York State Legislature (bills cited S3425/A1466). The organization promotes a legislative proposal that would establish a single-payer, comprehensive public health plan guaranteeing healthcare for every New Yorker, including primary and specialty care, vision, dental, hearing, mental health, reproductive care, substance use treatment, maternal care, prescription drugs and long-term care.
The campaign coordinates advocacy and public education activities to build support for the NYHA: mobilizing endorsing organizations (unions, faith groups, businesses, community organizations), collecting signatures and petitions, encouraging constituents to email legislators, distributing a newsletter, and soliciting public support and donations to sustain coalition efforts. The site summarizes policy impacts the coalition emphasizes (elimination of premiums, co-pays, deductibles and prescription costs; freedom to choose providers) and provides tools for legislative outreach and endorsement recruitment.
