This bill establishes the New York Health program, a comprehensive single-payer healthcare system for all New York state residents. The program aims to provide universal health coverage without premiums, deductibles, or co-pays, funded through a progressive tax system that includes both payroll and non-payroll income taxes. Key provisions include creating a board of trustees to oversee the program, establishing a New York Health Trust Fund to finance the system, and ensuring broad healthcare coverage that includes services currently covered by Medicaid, Medicare, Child Health Plus, and other existing health programs. The bill mandates that every resident of New York will be eligible to enroll, with a focus on improving healthcare access, reducing administrative costs, and eliminating financial barriers to healthcare. The program will allow patients to choose their healthcare providers, coordinate care through designated care coordinators, and provide comprehensive health services including long-term care, mental health services, and prescription drugs. The bill also includes provisions for retraining workers in the health insurance industry who may be displaced by the new system and creates regional advisory councils to help implement and monitor the program’s development.
