The New York Health Act, sponsored in the state Senate by Senator Bill Perkins, would guarantee healthcare to ALL New Yorkers regardless income, wealth, employment, or immigration status. Everyone, rich or poor, rural or urban, upstate or down, deserves access to quality healthcare. If you agree, plan to call your senator on Friday and spread the word through your networks!
The bill will be introduced shortly, so we don’t have the new bill number yet, but you can tell your Senator the bill number from last year’s session was S3525.
Calling Your State Senator. Look them up here or dial the NYS Senate Switchboard at (518) 455-2800. You will be asked to give your zip code and the operator will connect you to your Senator’s office.
If they respond that your Senator is already a sponsor, say THANK YOU and urge them to promote the bill to their Senate colleagues.

Republicans have total control of the federal government. They want to dismantle our already fragile healthcare system. The New York Health Act is one way to protect New Yorkers from the coming onslaught and to guarantee everyone in the state can access the healthcare they need without financial barriers. According to an economic analysis of the New York Health Act, 98% of us would pay less for our health care. Not only is passing New York Health the right thing to do, it’s economically responsible. If all 32 Democrats in the NYS Senate would sponsor New York Health, we could get this bill to the Governor’s desk to be signed into law. We can do this!
If you think healthcare is a human right, call your state Senator and invite your friends to do the same! Demand universal single payer healthcare for all New Yorkers. Demand the New York Health Act!
Thank you for taking action for New York Health for all!
