Healthcare consolidation is driving up costs for New York families and small businesses, leaving many struggling with higher out-of-pocket costs and few affordable options. But it's not too late to take action and help bring relief.

Join us in advocating for affordable healthcare by signing our letter in support of New York's Fair Pricing Act, which would cap what hospitals and healthcare providers can charge for outpatient services, regardless of where they're performed. If passed, the legislation has the potential to save New York families and small businesses more than $1 billion in healthcare spending annually.

The administration is contesting a court order requiring that tariff refunds be paid promptly. This does nothing but cause more uncertainty for small businesses that are already struggling to access refunds to which they are legally entitled.

“Most small businesses do not have the resources to hire an attorney who can fight for their refund in court,” Small Business Majority Senior Director of Federal Government Affairs Alexis D’Amato Falvey said in a statement. “It is likely that many small firms will simply give up trying to claim the money they are owed.”

Hospitals in New York often charge four times more than doctors’ offices for the same routine outpatient services, making it harder for families and small business owners to access affordable healthcare. That’s why we’re supporting the Fair Pricing Act, which would cap how much a healthcare provider can charge for outpatient services, regardless of where it’s provided.

Join us in advocating for more affordable healthcare by signing our letter to New York legislators in support of the Fair Pricing Act.

With rising costs and unprecedented cuts to Medicaid in the last year, healthcare affordability has become a serious concern for small business owners, limiting our ability to grow our businesses and provide benefits for employees.
