HCFANY: New Yorkers Speak Out for Health Reform
Health Care for All New York (HCFANY) is a statewide coalition of more than 60 organizations whose mission is to bring affordable, comprehensive, and high-quality health care to all residents of New York. In May 2008, more than 200 citizens, elected representatives, and activists gathered in the Legislative Office Building in Albany to hold a People’s Public Hearing on Health Care Reform, organized by HCFANY.
People from across the State came forward to tell stories of loved ones lost and lives interrupted due to the failure of our current health care system. Twenty-seven people testified at the hearing; 12 of their stories are collected in the “New Yorkers Speak Out for Health Reform” publication. The patient stories reflect the importance of HCFANY’s 10 standards for affordable, quality health care, which are outlined in the publication.
