No networks, no prior authorization. No coverage gaps when you change jobs or lose income. For the majority of New Yorkers, this means paying less. The Act is funded through a progressive payroll and income tax, meaning lower and middle-income residents would pay significantly less than they currently spend on premiums and out-of-pocket costs. Businesses (especially small businesses struggling with the cost of employee health benefits) and local governments would see substantial relief. And the state would gain the bargaining power to negotiate and lower drug prices and administrative costs that currently consume a third of every healthcare dollar. It&rsquo;s a win for everyone!

It would prove the universal healthcare model works, and build the political momentum needed to bring Medicare for All to other states in the fight for universal healthcare&ndash;and beyond, even to the federal level. We also advocate for other legislation, such as the Corporate Crimes Against Healthcare Act (S.3829), which would close the ERISA loophole that currently shields employer-sponsored insurers from legal accountability. In fact, S.3829 would send health insurance executives to prison for 1 - 6 years for actions that result in the death or injury of a patient. This is the first bill that recognizes death by denial as a criminal act and creates consequences for putting profit over patients. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1779239453/wysiwyg/cfofxrrekdc4hqldluq4.jpg" style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"> This is why spreading awareness and organizing action is so important.&nbsp;That&#39;s where we come in.

Fund the Fight for Healthcare Justice | People Over Profit NYC

People Over Profit NYC (POPNYC) es una organización sin fines de lucro de base que lucha por la reforma de la atención médica, los derechos humanos y la justicia social. Creemos que la atención médica es un derecho humano fundamental — no una mercancía que se deba racionar para el beneficio. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1784390509/wysiwyg/lacbscunf4n56qs2naum.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;position:relative;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" /> La realidad que la mayoría de los estadounidenses conoce demasiado bien. Estados Unidos lidera el mundo en bancarrotas médicas. Los estadounidenses cargan al menos $220 mil millones de dólares en deuda médica. Cada año, 68,000 personas mueren, e innumerables más quedan permanentemente discapacitadas debido a su incapacidad de acceder a tratamiento. 27 millones de estadounidenses permanecen sin seguro médico, y quienes sí tienen seguro enfrentan primas cada vez más altas, tratamientos limitados a proveedores dentro de la red, y reclamos retrasados y denegados. Las aseguradoras utilizan una variedad de tácticas para maximizar ganancias que quizás haya escuchado: autorización previa, cambio no médico de medicamentos, terapia escalonada, redes “fantasma” vacías, y algoritmos de IA que niegan reclamos alegando que el tratamiento “no es médicamente necesario”. La mayoría de los estadounidenses viven a un solo evento médico grave de una deuda aplastante. Esta lucha está tan normalizada en nuestra sociedad que es la premisa del galardonado y popular programa de televisión “Breaking Bad” — una historia que simplemente no podría existir en un país con cobertura médica universal. En Estados Unidos, incluso los asegurados, los estadounidenses de clase media, deben ir a la guerra con su aseguradora por el derecho a la cobertura que ya pagaron. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1779240287/wysiwyg/xqhwpfmwsiwvbmvxujix.jpg" style="cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;position:relative;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" /> ¡Hay una mejor manera! Y Nueva York puede liderarla. La Ley de Salud de Nueva York (NYHA, por sus siglas en inglés) establecería cobertura médica integral para cada neoyorquino, reemplazando la burocracia de primas, deducibles y copagos con un sistema eficiente y financiado públicamente. Sin redes, sin autorización previa. Sin interrupciones en la cobertura al cambiar de trabajo o perder ingresos. Para la mayoría de los neoyorquinos, esto significa pagar menos. La Ley se financia mediante un impuesto progresivo sobre la nómina y los ingresos, lo que significa que los residentes de ingresos bajos y medios pagarían considerablemente menos de lo que actualmente gastan en primas y costos de bolsillo. Los negocios (especialmente las pequeñas empresas que luchan con el costo de los beneficios de salud de sus empleados) y los gobiernos locales verían un alivio sustancial. Y el estado ganaría el poder de negociación necesario para reducir el precio de los medicamentos y los costos administrativos que actualmente consumen un tercio de cada dólar destinado a la salud. ¡Es una victoria para todos! (Excepto para las corporaciones de seguros con fines de lucro que se aprovechan del sistema…) Aprobar la NYHA no solo transformaría la atención médica en nuestro estado. Demostraría que el modelo de salud universal funciona, y generaría el impulso político necesario para llevar Medicare para Todos a otros estados en la lucha por la salud universal — y más allá, incluso al nivel federal. También abogamos por otra legislación, como la Ley de Crímenes Corporativos Contra la Atención Médica (S.3829), que cerraría el vacío legal de ERISA que actualmente protege a las aseguradoras patrocinadas por empleadores de rendir cuentas legales. De hecho, la S.3829 enviaría a prisión de 1 a 6 años a los ejecutivos de seguros de salud por acciones que resulten en la muerte o lesión de un paciente. Esta es la primera ley que reconoce la muerte por denegación de cobertura como un acto criminal y crea consecuencias por poner las ganancias por encima de los pacientes. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1779239453/wysiwyg/cfofxrrekdc4hqldluq4.jpg" style="cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;position:relative;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" /> Por eso es tan importante difundir el mensaje y organizar la acción. Ahí es donde entramos nosotros. El cambio de política requiere presión pública sostenida para consolidar la conversación nacional en algo real e histórico. Esto no es solo una tendencia, ni un titular, ni un puñado de historias… la gente está despertando a las duras realidades del sistema de salud roto de Estados Unidos y dándose cuenta de que el sistema DEBE cambiar. Somos todos nosotros contra una industria de billones de dólares con capital casi ilimitado para gastar en cabildeo político — así que debemos usar todos los medios a nuestro alcance para difundir el mensaje e informar a la gente sobre las soluciones legislativas que tenemos disponibles. Camiones con anuncios espectaculares, proyecciones en edificios, despliegue de pancartas, mítines, mesas informativas en parques y espacios comunitarios, exhibiciones públicas interactivas, colocación de carteles, entre otros, son algunas de las formas en que aumentamos la visibilidad de nuestro mensaje, captamos la atención de los medios de comunicación y movilizamos a la gente para que actúe. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1781833981/wysiwyg/uxocqqxbh0axhzejfzj2.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;position:relative;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" />Crédito: The Intercept_ El sistema no se va a arreglar solo — necesita que todos actuemos. Todas nuestras acciones hasta el presente han sido autofinanciadas por voluntarios que donan su propio tiempo y recursos. Muchos de nuestros voluntarios tenemos nuestra propia deuda médica y enfermedades crónicas, y hemos sido permanentemente afectados por negaciones de atención. Algunos de nosotros hemos perdido a seres queridos. No somos un grupo de cabildeo bien financiado. No tenemos respaldo corporativo ni una red de grandes donantes. Nos tenemos los unos a los otros, y lo que sea que logremos reunir entre una acción y otra. Tu donación — sea lo que sea que puedas dar — significa un camión más en la calle. Una proyección más en un edificio. Una persona más que ve el mensaje y reconoce la necesidad de cambio. Uno por uno, cada persona que se une a la acción organizada aumenta la presión necesaria para inclinar la balanza contra los cabilderos corporativos. Cada dólar va directamente hacia la educación, el alcance comunitario y la presión pública que convierte las propuestas de política en ley. Ayúdenos a seguir adelante. Ayúdenos a acabar con las muertes por denegación.
