Healthcare

Platform ︎

1. Reduce or eliminate surprise medical bills
2. Support the New York Health Act
3. Work to build at least one more hospital in the district
4. Get all of our residents insured with a reliable and compatible health care plan
5. Fight to increase salaries for frontline workers across health and medical industries
6. “Healthy NY” tax credit: Some of the leading co-morbidities associated with COVID-19 have been diet-related, such as diabetes and obesity. In order to incentivize healthy behavior I propose a “Healthy NY” tax credit, which would allow any New Yorker who qualifies for the EITC to get an additional $500 return on their City income taxes by achieving a number of health milestones throughout the year.
