More than 40 witnesses offered testimony Tuesday in a marathon - TopicsExpress



          

More than 40 witnesses offered testimony Tuesday in a marathon Assembly hearing on a bill that has no near-term chance of becoming law. In what has become an annual exercise, legislation to create a single-payer health care system in New York state drew ardent support from labor leaders, policy wonks and regular folk who told often grueling stories of their experiences navigating the current for-profit system. The New York Health Act, sponsored by Assemblyman Richard Gottfried and his fellow Democrat Sen. Bill Perkins, would establish a system thats been shorthanded as Medicare for all, which advocates argue would be far less costly and easier to administer. The bill, first introduced more than a decade ago, failed to come to the floor of the Democratic-controlled Assembly in its most recent incarnation, and stands no chance of being passed by the Republican-majority state Senate.
