Day of Action in Albany, NY - Wednesday, May 27th 2009
A lobby day at the State Capitol in support of single payer health care
Lobby to get New York State to pass legislation to establish a single payer program for New York State. Legislation (A2356 / S2370) is pending in both houses. Governor Paterson has been a long time supporter of single payer health care.
Work to pass a State Senate resolution in support of a federal single payer bill. The New York State Assembly passed a resolution last year.
There will be a noon time rally in west Capitol Park, part of a national week of action on single payer.
