#1 most unequal
#1 in homelessness
#2 in deaths per capita deaths from COVID

NY state is RICH. We have a bigger GDP than South Korea!
#InvestInOurNewYork to Transform New York! This is a life or death situation. We need to redistribute the wealth!

The New York Health Act @NYHCampaign will provide comprehensive benefits to EVERYONE like Medicare. It will cost LESS than what healthcare costs now.
#NYHA creates a dedicated Trust Fund outside annual state budget. Like Medicare taxes today, they will be set in law as proportional to income.
#NYHA will eliminate local share of Medicaid that raises property tax on county level. This is a regressive tax.

MLK said "of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is most shocking and inhumane." COVID exposed this inhumanity. We need to stand up against decades of austerity - Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, President of @nynurses
The narrative and agenda has to change. Political leaders and union leaders have to change. We saw this with Sandy. We are seeing this with COVID. Many deaths are unnecessary if our commitment to the public is genuine. #InvestInOurNY @nynurses
