The New York State Health Act A. Gottfried 4738/S. Rivera 4840 was proposed as a universal, single-payer health care plan that will provide comprehensive health care coverage for
all New Yorkers.
The New York State Health Act is pending NYS Senate approval and therefore will need you to call your state senator.
All residents, regardless of immigration status, will be covered for primary, preventive, and specialty care; hospitalization; mental health; dental, vision, and hearing; and prescription drugs and
medical supplies.

Yesterday, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a public option plan to guarantee health care for all New York City residents.
Health care isn’t just a right in theory, it must be a right in practice. Today I’m announcing a plan to guarantee health care for all New Yorkers. Through our own public option and a new program called NYC Care, we’ll ensure the first stop for people isn’t the emergency room.— Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) January 8, 2019

Mayor de Blasio's plan to 'guarantee health care' for all NYC residents, based on limited details provided so far, appears to be a relatively modest expansion of existing safety-net programs. https://t.co/EbfPArjHbQ— Bill Hammond (@NYHammond) January 8, 2019
Also, below is an October 2018 presentation, including tomorrow's speaker Henry Moss, about the NY State Health Act.

On the other hand, the Albany Times Union reports:
A relatively new coalition aiming to raise awareness of the pitfalls for a single-payer, universal healthcare system for New York has acquired at least a dozen new organizations in the last few weeks.
Members of the Realities of Single Payer say they do not oppose universal health coverage, but take issue with Assemblyman Dick Gottfried’s proposal, which is one Senate vote shy of passage in the state Legislature....
Our coalition of employers, unions, taxpayers, and providers urged the @NYCCouncil to #DoNOHarm. And, warned of higher taxes, less access to care, and the loss of your current health plan under the NY Health Act. @InsideCityHall @politicony @NYHammond @JonLaMantia @CTLizB @WSJ pic.twitter.com/L20x5KP4y0— Single Pay Facts (@SinglePayFacts) December 6, 2018
