The Employer Alliance for Affordable Health Care is a coalition of more than 3,500 employers, individuals and local governments from across New York State who are committed to preserving quality affordable health care.

Each year, state lawmakers consider hundreds of proposals that require employers who offer health insurance to include coverage for specified benefits as part of the "basic" insurance package. New York is a leading state, with more than 30 required mandates.

The cumulative effect of mandates on the cost of health insurance exacerbates the already rising cost of health care and increases the number of uninsured in New York - which now stands at more than 3 million.

Take action to fight unnecessary expensive health insurance mandates that increase your premiums and contribute to the number of uninsured New Yorkers!
