Urgent Request: Help Bring NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Back to the Negotiating Table

Body of Email:
Governor Hochul,

I am writing to urge your immediate intervention in the ongoing situation between New York-Presbyterian and EmblemHealth. As you know, the City of New York spends more than $10 billion annually on health care, providing City workers with comprehensive access to hospitals throughout the five boroughs. Maintaining this essential access depends on the City’s ability to manage rising costs—costs that have increased at three times the rate of inflation since 2000 and have outpaced the cost of basic necessities by 40%.

City workers and their families rely on a benefit package that ensures full access to care. Any disruption in the relationship between New York-Presbyterian and EmblemHealth threatens this fundamental guarantee, potentially limiting hospital options and undermining the well-being of countless New Yorkers.

I’m asking you to help bring New York-Presbyterian to the table and ensure equitable and affordable prices for New Yorkers.
