“Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, and their employees deserve access to quality health coverage. Right now, the state’s one-size-fits-all approach is pricing too many of them out of the market entirely.”
(Official legislative newsroom (nyassembly.gov)) “New Yorkers are paying some of the highest health insurance premiums in the country, and they deserve to know exactly why. This bill is about transparency, giving families a clear picture of what they may be required to pay for, and whether they need it or not.”
(Official legislative newsroom (nyassembly.gov)) “This isn’t about stripping away coverage, it’s about having an honest conversation about the burden healthcare premiums place on New Yorkers. Right now, we are asking people to pay for things that they may never use, with no clear accounting of the costs to them.”
