Harlem United joined healthcare advocates from across New York State to send a letter to legislative leaders in Albany, encouraging them to support A7230-B (Gottfried) / S6534-C (Rivera).
The proposed legislation would convene a collaborative of expert stakeholders to:
- Define primary care for the purposes of measuring spending
- Oversee the collection of spending data from all payers across New York State
- Publish a report on current primary care spending
- Provide recommendations to gradually increase the proportion of health care spending that goes to primary care across all payers in the state
