Does New York have any state single-payer legislation?
I see them working on it in California and Pennsylvania and wonder if New York has joined in.
Nothing is true; everything is permitted.
Yes, NY State has a single-payer bill
My own State Senator, Eric Schneiderman, is a sponsor. (There may be an Assembly bill as well: I don't know.)
There is also an organization, Single Payer New York, working on the state level here.

We can't afford not to have single-payer!
Not only that...
Paterson commissioned a study for state-wide universal health care that reported single payer to be the state's best bet and he buried it.

Ugh!
Can we get a fucking break, just once? Can't we get some motherfucker with the decency to actually do this thing?
