Statement from Mayor de Blasio on Assembly Passage of the New York Health Plan

May 16, 2017

"While the fight to save the Affordable Care Act is far from over, the State Assembly has taken a major step forward today to protect the health of working families across New York – including the more than 1 million people who stand to lose coverage. The New York Health Plan will ensure that every resident has access to health care, and that the City's public hospital system is able to continue to deliver quality care to the New Yorkers who need it most. I applaud Speaker Heastie, Assembly Health Committee Chairman Gottfried and all members of the Assembly Democratic Conference for fighting to save the lives of millions of New Yorkers. I also applaud Senator Rivera for sponsoring the Senate version and urge the Senate to pass the bill."
