Testimony: Recommendations for Ensuring Equitable Access and Quality in New York State Health Care System Reform (2007)

The Opportunity Agenda submitted the following testimony urging the State of New York to consider not just the issue of insurance coverage in reform efforts, but the deep and continuing problems of equal access and quality of care that many New Yorkers continue to struggle with.

In 2007, New York State began the "Partnership for Coverage" initiative, designed to build consensus and support for health care reform.  This testimony was submitted at one of the Departments of Health and Insurance's series of hearings.
