Across New York, our healthcare is under attack.

From the federal government’s devastating Medicaid cuts to the loss of Affordable Care Act subsidies and Essential Plan coverage, and the risk of community hospitals reducing services, politicians are making decisions that put our care at risk.

The Healthcare Education Project is leading the fight to protect New Yorkers’ healthcare. But we can’t do it alone.

Our representatives in Albany and Washington, D.C. need to hear from you.

Record a short video telling your healthcare story and explain why our leaders must protect our healthcare.

Other New Yorkers have already shared their story.

“Medicaid has been a savior for me and my child.”
Elvina Scott
“Our family very much relies in a very real way on Medicaid for lifesaving medication, for ongoing preventative medicine, and for direct support hours. Please protect Medicaid.”
Leigh Walter
“I’m terrified that my support will be taken away from me because billionaires want to save a few pennies. I need help.”
The Healthcare Education Project works everyday to protect and expand access to quality, affordable healthcare for all New Yorkers.

We work in partnership with individuals, healthcare providers, and civic and religious leaders in neighborhoods to:

  • Protect access to critical healthcare services
  • Better understand the urgent healthcare issues facing our communities
  • Educate our communities about the plight of the uninsured
  • Advocate for universal coverage for all Americans

The Healthcare Education Project is a joint effort of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East and the Greater New York Hospital Association. Together, the two organizations represent over 450,000 healthcare workers and nearly 280 not-for-profit hospitals and continuing care facilities.
