In 1962, Saskatchewan enacted universal healthcare. Within 10 years, it had been expanded nationwide throughout Canada. New York is on the verge of passing single payer and becoming the Saskatchewan of America. We MUST #PassNYHealth before the legislative session ends on 6/10

.@GovKathyHochul has declared a State Disaster Emergency over #monkeypox. Here's what that allows: 1. Paramedics and EMT workers can administer vaccines 2. Pharmacies can request vaccines 3. Anyone who administers a vaccine must report it to the Dept of Health
NY has nearly the same size economy (<U+2248>$2 trillion) as Canada, with less than half the population. If they can make universal healthcare work, so can we. Next year, we should enact the New York Health Act.
If you were involved with #ForceTheVote and you're still interested in enacting single payer healthcare, we're on the cusp of passing it in NY. We have a majority support in both houses for the New York Health Act and only we have until June 10th to pass it.

Me: NY has a bill to enact single payer healthcare, with majority support in both houses, which could catalyze a domino effect leading to universal healthcare nationwide. We have until 6/10 to pass it, and it's being kept from coming to a vote. You: Senator, this is a Wendy's.
The best time to pass universal healthcare was before the pandemic. The second best time is now. #PassNYHealth
We don't need to keep shutting down the subways overnight for disinfecting. It's hygiene theater. We've known for a while now that the virus spreads primarily through air, not surfaces.
There are many paths to single payer health care. One path is passing it in NY, showing that it works, and expanding it nationwide. The New York Health Act has a majority of co-sponsors in both the Senate and Assembly and we should vote on it before session ends on June 10.
If a bill is co-sponsored by a majority of legislators, it should come to a vote. Simple. 2 days left to #PassNYHealth
