Another Chance For Single-Payer Health Care in New York
New York State Assembly Member Richard Gottfried (D-75th District) and chair of the NYS Assembly Committee on Health, discusses his single-payer health care proposal for New York, which has been reintroduced with amendments, and has a chance of passing now that Democrats control the legislature — plus weighs in on the measles outbreak in Brooklyn and Rockland County.
"What we’re doing is to remind legislators that the people that got them elected are telling pollsters… they support a single payer system," says @DickGottfried on single-payer health care system in New York.
