How are We Going to Pay for It?
A New York Health Act Forum on Costs, Benefits, Savings, and Your Pocketbook
Sunday, March 24th, 4:50 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Do you have questions about how the New York Health Act (Assembly Bill A4738A) will affect your
wallet? Do you have questions about how this bill will affect the New
York state budget?
The bill
"Establishes the New York Health program, a comprehensive system of access to health insurance for New York state residents; establishes the New York Health Trust Fund which would hold monies from a variety of sources to be used solely to finance the plan; enacts provisions relating to financing of New York Health, including a payroll assessment, similar to the Medicare tax; provides for collective negotiations by health care providers with New York Health."
New York Senate District 17 for Progress (NYSD 17 for Progress) and Pakistani American Youth Society (PAYS) will host a thirty-minute presentation on the "economics" of the act, followed by a thirty-minute Q&A session to answer your questions.
Leonard Rodberg, Ph.D., will give the presentation. He is Emeritus Professor of Urban Studies at Queens College and co-director of Community Studies of New York, Inc.
