Title of Study
Update on Healthcare and the Financing of Healthcare

Summary of Study

The 2019 NYS Convention charged our committee with updating the LWVNY position on Financing Healthcare (which was originally adopted in 1985 and last revised in 1991) with particular consideration of the manner in which single-payer legislation such as the NY Health Act could be fiscally viable, that is, the financial criteria we believe a single-payer system should meet, including the feasibility of implementing single payer at the NYS level and consideration of how it might impact Medicare.
