that was great. thanks, susan. would love to see your sharable slides.

37:58
what is the ultimate purpose of getting businesses to sign on? will they have to take further action or is this list something that will merely demonstrate community buy in?

39:05
is this an effort to try to eventually get some sort of buy in from chambers of commerce?

39:15
how much of an uphill battle is that?

42:17
also what does the timeframe look like for this bill?

46:32
what are things that residents of NYC can do to help? our senators are already co-sponsors. how can we be useful to upstate constituencies?

46:32
so if a business is onboard, should we ask them to call their state reps about the bill during a particular week?

50:56
Is the list of the businesses currently supporting the bill on your site?

51:24
when will it get to assembly and then to the senate?

51:25
do you have a list of the senatorial districts that are critical to turn?

52:05
Yes Patricia!

52:36
Eve - the bill moves more or less at the same time in the Assembly and the Senate

53:31
someone told me the bill is coming up next week?

54:06
Is there a "profile" of the type of business we'd like to see publicly support the bill? E.g. size or or industry?

54:12
what about large health groups? are those considered businesses?

55:06
given the success zephyr teachout had upstate, is there a correlate strategy for something like this bill?

56:18
How will repeal of ACA affect NY State plans for single payer?

58:59
What about health care providers like those who provide home care to the elderly? The poor people who provide that care are ofter uninsured.

01:03:43
Since the NY Health Act would cover regardless of immigration status, I'm considering trying to reach out to bodegas in NY. I have some of their contact info from joining FB groups during the recent Yemeni bodega strike in NYC

01:08:54
That is a great idea!!!

01:09:27
Will you be organizing buses from Brooklyn or Manhattan to go to Albany for the April 4 lobby day?

01:09:56
Since it will level the playing field, then some firms will be losing an advantage... who wins, and who loses?

01:11:43
Is Simcha Felder a co-sponsor?

01:12:35
simcha felder is NOT currently listed as a co-sponsor

01:15:37
A firm will lose advantage by no longer providing a benefit that smaller businesses can’t. They will also win by having lower expenses for health care.

01:16:17
thanks all!
