New York Patient Protection Coalition

The New York Patient Protection Coalition is committed to ensuring access to quality and affordable health care. We stand in opposition to “Pay and Pursue."

[New York Patient Protection Coalition @NewYorkPPC]

Don't let #PayAndPursue hike up your health care costs! Oppose the proposal that requires hospitals to be paid before determining the medical necessity of treatment.

This is why we say NO to #PayAndPursue:

“The issue is less about being overcharged, and more about the seemingly haphazard calculation that determines how much a patient is eventually asked to pay after making an on-site co-payment.”

We need #AffordableHospitalsNow!

“Costs in New York can vary widely. A cesarean section delivery at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx typically costs roughly $55k, while the same procedure costs about $18k at NYC-run hospitals.”

Thank you @JulieMenin!

'Pay & Pursue' will fundamentally change the health care financing system, making it more difficult to ensure safe & effective care.

Stand up for affordability & quality healthcare! Say NO to #PayAndPursue.

Say NO to #PayAndPursue:
“With our economy still in recovery, New York needs policies that promote business growth and development. It needs common sense policies that protect patients from hospital price-gouging.” https://t.co/udN6p4bOM0

From @NYHammond at Empire Center:
“When losses are driven by risky financial investments, it is not clear whether patients, employers, insurers, and taxpayers should be responsible for paying higher prices to offset the impact of overall market declines.” https://t.co/Zlcm6AMU8i

Stand up for affordability & quality healthcare; tell the Governor to say NO to #PayAndPursue!

Hochul's 'Pay & Pursue' proposal will fundamentally change the health care financing system, making it more difficult to ensure safe & effective care.

[New York Patient Protection Coalition @NewYorkPPC]

Say NO on #PayAndPursue:“Hospitals will be free to issue claims as they see fit and leave it on the insurance provider, and the patient, to get that money back — driving up costs for everyone.”

Say NO To #PayAndPursue!

From Empire Center's Bill Hammond: "Hochul differs from Cuomo in some ways. But when it comes to hospital policy, she’s falling into an all-too-familiar pattern."

Say NO to #PayAndPursue! Some of New York's biggest unions say that “[Pay and Pursue] would significantly increase the cost of the health benefits provided by the City of New York.”
