The Employer Alliance for Affordable Health Care is a coalition of more than 3,000 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, known as health insurance mandates and hundreds more that impact policy, impose taxes, fees and assessments that all impact premium cost.

New York is nationwide leader in mandating policies and services with more than 50 mandates currently on record.

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!
