NY Assembly passes bill to create universal health coverage

http://www.syracuse.com/state/index.ssf/2015/05/ny_assembly_votes_for_universal_health_coverage.html

-snip-
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The New York Assembly has voted 89-47 for legislation to establish publicly funded universal health coverage in a so-called single payer system.

All New Yorkers could enroll if the bill became law, but an identical bill hasn't advanced in the state Senate.

wrecks Obamacare I believe it will have little effect on us. HOWEVER, the State Assembly now and for many years has been controlled by the Democrats and the Repugs control the Senate. So as far as single payer goes at this time, I'm not holding my breath. Exciting headline though!
