IMPORTANT SPONSORED MESSAGE FROM HEALTHCARE EDUCATION PROJECT: Empire BCBS and other insurers are pushing legislation that attacks hospitals and caregivers. While couched in pro-patient rhetoric, the bill’s real purpose is to pad insurance companies’ profits by bullying hospitals into accepting inadequate payments. The bill falsely claims that it will protect insured patients from out-of-network emergency bills, but NYS law already includes consumer safeguards to ensure patients aren’t hit with huge bills. 1199SEIU & GNYHA urge you reject the Empire bill.

We need to legalize mobile sports betting and keep that tax revenue right here in New York. Tell Governor Cuomo and the Legislature to Bet on NY!
