New York City's Health Care Affordability Problem: City and Community-Based Solutions

More than half of New Yorkers are burdened by unaffordable health care, and more than three-quarters are worried about future care costs.

 

On April 29, 2019, we convened a panel of leaders and experts in health care to explore solutions to New York's health care affordability problem.
