Demand Affordable Health Care for All New York Residents
Write your state representatives and let them know that you want affordable, comprehensive, and high-quality health care for all residents of New York by 2010.
Approximately 13 percent of New York residents lack any health care insurance, and many more are underinsured. Uninsured and underinsured people are less likely to get the health care they need, and for them ailments that could be easily solved with decent medical care often become more serious, and sometimes even deadly. Let your representative know that you think this is unacceptable.
