Labor, Faith, Seniors, Consumer Groups Rally at New York State Capitol in Support of Single Payer Universal Health Care

NEW YORK - May 7 - Single payer universal health care advocates rallied today at the State Capitol in support of action at both the national and state level.

Representatives of unions, nurses, doctors, seniors, consumer and faith groups urged the state legislature to pass a resolution urging Congress to pass HR 676, known as Medicare for All. As. Felix Ortiz sponsors the Assembly resolution. HR 676 has 90 cosponsors, including NY Congressional representatives Engel, Hinchey, Maloney, McNulty, Nader, Owens, Rangel, Serrano, Towns, Weiner and Velazquez.

The groups are also urging the state to adopt a single payer system as soon as possible.

Wonder if there are going to be any rallies in my city.
