HEALTHCARE
We must guarantee high-quaLity heaLthcare for aLL new Yorkers by passing the new York HeaLth Act.
Healthcare is a human right — but over 50% of New Yorkers are burdened by its costs.
We must liberate New Yorkers from the constraints of employer-provided care.
The NYHA will also save the state money — over 3% of costs by 2031.
We must eLiminate Laws that bLock access to Life-saving care, especiaLLy if we enter a post-Roe America.
We must expand reproductive healthcare access for all people, here and nationwide.
New York must proactively offer safe harbor to anyone in need of an abortion.
After years of failure, we must legalize access to prescription birth control at pharmacies — so all New Yorkers who want birth control can easily get it.
Evidence-based approaches to drug treatment and mentaL heaLth chaLLenges shouLd be expanded.
Safe injection sites should be expanded statewide, to save lives and help individuals struggling with addiction get onto safer paths.
Lost mental health beds for in-patient treatment must be recovered and expanded.
It’s time to decarcerate and invest in community-based care. Our jails and prisons cannot be our primary sites of mental healthcare.
