If you are interested in joining in the work of one of PNHP-NY Metro's working groups, you have come to the right place!  For each team, we will set up a Google Group to facilitate easier communication.  The current focus groups are:

1. New York Health Act Advocacy: Plans for PNHP-NY Metro’s continuing support, education and organizing for this vital single-payer bill into 2022.

2. Healthcare Worker Outreach: Bringing more healthcare and public health professionals into the single-payer movement continues to be a primary focus of the chapter.

3. National Issues: An update on what’s happening and what we can do about healthcare access nationally, from Direct Contracting Entities (an under-the-radar Medicare privatization scheme) to the Medicare expansion provisions of the “reconciliation” bill in Congress. Also, the latest on how retirees and doctors are pushing back against NYC’s attempts to privatize Medicare through the misnamed “Medicare Advantage.”

4. Anti-Racism Work: We continue our work to make our chapter a more inclusive space, with both internal projects and an enhanced commitment to coalition-building in the movement.
