 AN ACT to amend the public health law and the state finance law, in
 relation to enacting the "New York health act" and establishing New
 York Health

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "New York health act".
 3 § 2. Legislative findings and intent. 1. The state constitution
 4 states: "The protection and promotion of the health of the inhabitants
 5 of the state are matters of public concern and provision therefor shall
 6 be made by the state and by such of its subdivisions and in such manner,
 7 and by such means as the legislature shall from time to time determine."
 8 (Article XVII, §3.) The legislature finds and declares that all resi-
 9 dents of the state have the right to health care. While the federal
 10 Affordable Care Act brought many improvements in health care and health
 11 coverage, it still leaves many New Yorkers without coverage or with
 12 inadequate coverage. Millions of New Yorkers do not get the health care
 13 they need or face financial obstacles and hardships to get it. That is
 14 not acceptable. There is no plan that has been put forward other than
 15 the New York health act that will enable New York state to meet that
 16 need. New Yorkers - as individuals, employers, and taxpayers - have
 17 experienced a rise in the cost of health care and coverage in recent
 18 years, including rising premiums, deductibles and co-pays, restricted
 19 provider networks and high out-of-network charges. Many New Yorkers go
 20 without health care because they cannot afford it or suffer significant

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 1 financial hardship to get it. Businesses have also experienced
 2 increases in the costs of health care benefits for their employees, and
 3 many employers are shifting a larger share of the cost of coverage to
 4 their employees or dropping coverage entirely. Including long-term
 5 services and supports (LTSS) in New York Health is a major step forward
