New York State Health Care System Study

Our chapter has begun to look in earnest for funding, somewhere in the $30-50,000 range, to hire an experienced consulting firm like the Lewin Group to undertake a comprehensive study of the NYS health care system. Lewin has done these studies for other states, like Georgia and California and Vermont. The objective data demonstrates that Single Payer is the most efficient and least costly approach to providing health care for every citizen - on a statewide basis. As the the health care crisis emerges front and center, we need this kind of tool in hand to ramp up the discussion, particularly with the business community and political leaders, about Single Payer in New York State. If anyone visiting this site has ANY suggestions about a source of funding for this study, please email or call us and we will follow up promptly!
