The thing I am most attached / obsessed with to when it comes to the #NYHealthAct is DENTAL Care & MATERNAL CARE .

There are way too many of us putting off dental & eye care no matter how painful it may be because we dont have any other option.
We deserve to go to the hospital in peace

I literally dont know what else to say other than that healthcare is a human right and its needs to be implemented S.T.A.T

Not supporting it means people dying due to not being well versed with the system and or not being able to pay
I remember being around when we got #PassNYHealth to trend in NY , I literally never thought that would happen and that I would be seeing it.
Guess what though, I still had no access to care and booking a plane ticket was still cheaper & people were still rationing medicines
