This GOP bill would take health care away from 2.7 million New Yorkers, and cost state taxpayers $6.9 billion in additional costs.
It’s a cynical ploy that affects all New Yorkers and will be the biggest blow to health care in our state’s history. Worse still, Congressmen Chris Collins and John Faso have proposed an amendment that hurts New Yorkers even more and is against the interest of their constituents and all New Yorkers.
If New Yorkers join together and make our voices heard we can still defeat this attack on our health care system. The House of Representatives plans to vote on this devastating legislation tomorrow so we need New Yorkers like you to speak out now.

The more we learn about repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act, the sicker New York gets. I’ve been crunching the numbers, and I won’t mince words: New Yorkers face dire circumstances if this bill passes.
Here’s a look at the numbers:
2.7 million New Yorkers will lose coverage
New York’s total loss in funding would amount to $6.9 billion
Nursing Home Payments would be cut by $401 million
Home care payments would be cut by $360 million
Hospital payments would be cut by $355 million
With this attack on our health care, they've declared war on New York, and we need to stand up and show them New Yorkers won’t be pushed around.
