Hundreds of healthcare advocates, including more than 136 members of 1199, came together at the Capitol in Albany on Tuesday, June 5 to tell lawmakers that health care is a right—not a privilege! 1199 members spoke with legislators and urged passage of the New York Health Act, the bill that would provide universal health care to ALL New Yorkers (like Medicare-for-all for New York State.) They also participated in a rally at West Capitol Park, right outside the legislative chambers.
