Buffalo Hearing on the New York Health Act

Today at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, the Assembly Committee on Health held its third public hearing on the New York Health Act, a bill that I am introducing along with Senator Bill Perkins that would establish a publicly funded universal health care system in New York. I joined Assembly Member Crystal Peoples-Stokes and other supporters of the bill at a press conference before the hearing began to talk about why we support universal health care for all New Yorkers.
