 We all know that health care is in a deepening state of crisis in New York and the U.S. While state and national politicians are issuing their plans for solving this crisis, our job as citizens and activists is to ensure that these plans meet the needs of our families and the common good, not the demands of insurance companies, drug companies and others whose main goal is to profit from the health care system.
Our goal is affordable, quality health care for everyone in New York and our nation.
Our current health care system is not affordable for our families, businesses or government. All of us, individuals, employers and government have a shared responsibility to realize comprehensive reforms in our health care system.
We believe:
Everyone must have health care coverage.
Our health care system must eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in health care.Health care must be affordable to the family budget and to our businesses.
Health care must provide the full range of health benefits to meet peoples’ needs.
Everyone must have a choice of a public or private health insurance plan.
Health Care is about the public good not health insurance Industry profits!
