Opinions on Policy and Politics
Opinion: Addressing New York’s Systemic Inequities Will Be Core to its COVID Recovery ([link removed])
‘We cannot repeat the mistakes of the past, where recoveries after the Great Recession, the Sept. 11 attacks, and the early 90s recession exacerbated systemic inequities rather than addressing them. And the people to determine a new direction cannot be the same people who benefit the most from the status quo.’
Opinion: New York’s COVID Recovery Must Include a Universal, People-First Healthcare System ([link removed])
'Passing the New York Health Act — which would provide universal, guaranteed healthcare and already has majority support in both the State Senate and the Assembly — will fundamentally transform how we care for our communities by focusing on healthcare and health outcomes.'
